it's been pointed out to me that the above may've come across as
harsh on mike.  that certainly was not my intent.  i fully understand
how difficult it must be to jump into the middle of a band like this, and
to hold your own in the midst of their insane road warrior schedule.  and i,
as well as other harp-l folks, thought that mike managed this admirably well.
near as i could tell, everyone in the crowds both nights had a great time.
i certainly did.  

my apologies, especially to mike, if my careless words left the wrong 
impression.  i didn't mean to cast any aspersions.
