I’ve played the Birchmere for over the years an the locations. D.C. being Jack’s and my hometown, it is always memorable for us when we return! It also doesn’t hurt that the Birchmere lets us do our laundry there during sound check.

After the Birchmere gig we headed up to Asbury Park to meet up with Justin Guip and Steve Kimoch for our short but sweet electric run.

Back in the 60’s the Airplane played the Convention Center a number of times. It’s probably a good thing these old walls can’t talk! On this run, the Tuna Gang played next door at the Paramount.

I remember that Barry Mitterhoff played the Paramount during the Guitarbeque in ’05. As always we stayed across the street at the Berkeley. I think it’s haunted… just saying. After show we drove to Portchester, New York. The Capitol Theater has been a treat for us for almost half a century!

We were welcomed by Matryoshka Dolls...

Love these nesting dolls. I’ve had a bunch of them since I was a kid.

Then and now...

Jack noticed the foto on the wall of us ‘in the day.’ Bingo! New foto.

You can’t make this stuff up. The mysterious private club. Gotta love this.
