Lovely to see you & your lovely daughter the other night, Steve. As for the rest of you, you missed a great night. The highlight for me mighta been "Young Ned of The Hill" by The Vagabonds, i think they was? Kudos to Babe Gure for doing the LONG version of "And the band played Waltzing Matilda", but she had the pipes to pull it off. The only stinker was CR Avery, who performed "Kitty" with the chorus of "Haunted" solo at the piano, screaming high up out of his range. He really should have played that one for somebody else first....

Just saw this thread today. I've had tickets for weeks, and will be there! Hope to see you, Low D! The Imperial is not that big, we're bound to bump into each other
