No, it IS a highway. The Highbury is down the highway. (I forget the  
route number)

How do they feel about spaghetti benders (like me)?

I did a Google Earth and it appears to be 11.25 miles south east of  
the hotel.

I love roaming the crowd and checking the looks on the faces as these  
'honchos of the harp' do their stuff. The smile on Joe Filisko's &  
Buzz Krantz's faces are worth the trip.

You said it girl. I had been to blow offs in past years, but there's  
a different magnetism lately. I felt alive.

Yes, Mike Peloquin was quite a surprise (to me). I knew he could play  
harp, but the sax part took me off guard. He did a King Curtis number  
(Soul Serenade) BETTER than King Curtis. I thought I was listening to  
an old Coasters album.
