And I swear it is true - except maybe the colour of Davids socks (although
he definitely had odd ones).

For me it's a toss up between that and knowing that you played sublimely,
that you just excelled yourself, the whole band hit that groove and y'all
played better than ever before.  Then someone comes up and says "the band
is a bit off tonight - what's the problem?".

Or like Saturday night - I was moved by the muse and blew some of the best
harp I've ever played during the first set.  At the break, a bunch of
people told me "you can't hear the harp at all out here".
