Back in Italy with our friends. Alberto met us at the airport and took us all out to dinner last night. Today is our first gig here and more on that later. I did add some stuff on the Thoughts page... now, to write the set list for tonight.

Tonight's show at the 3C with Nine Below Zero went really well. We went on first which was great because the Zero guys are a great blues band, but they're really loud. Rock on dudes! Anyway, the sound folks were real pros and we sounded great... if I do say so myself. Here is our set list:

We pulled into Forli earlier this evening in time for an unbelievable three and a half hour dinner. I got back to my room a little bit ago, changed my guitars strings to an Italian dubbed version of' 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.' Physically and spiritually recharged... I go to bed happy.
