I promise it's not staged. It's what was awaiting me after a break between sets of semi-acoustic Blues about a year ago. I had to take the picture....might even have to use it on the upcoming CD art...

Oh!! And I was !!wrong!! to say that song on Stand Up was the only evidence of harmonica on the studio albums. "Song For Geofrey" (sic) (I can't remember how he spells "Geofrey" and am currently too tired to go find out.) features harmonica. And there's something that speaks to me about all the work that group did from 68 to 72-ish just like it did when I wasn't even a teen-ager and used to hear it on the "big kids" records... Something that suggests synthesis, reverence of things past, presence to one's own circumstance and much else that I'm unable to articulate just now, but which would tie right in with our desire to be creative and inspired when we perform.
