I videorecorded your performance there too (this is Smokey's 'subtle'  
reminder to me to get a copy out to him).<G>
 
 
I actually thought someone else had a better angle than I did (at the back  
of the room standing against the wall so without a stable surface for my 
small  tripod, causing some bobbling here and there although the sound is  
good). I had thought I'd watched another version up on youtube at one  point?
 
 
Nevertheless, I'll see what I can do to get a master DVD out to Smokey when 
 possible. Posting it will be up to him or... ?
 
 
Too much going on at home for me to take care of getting what I have onto  
YouTube myself. At some point I will do it--Slim pointed me to a great idea 
on  how to go about this and that's probably the angle I'll follow, but 
right  now you'll have to take my word for it that the sound guy at Williamsburg 
was  really great making Smokey's playing sound all the better. It's true: 
a good  sound guy can make or break your performance.

When I went to my first spah (1991), even  though I had 22 years at my 
current job and was already 49 years old, I was  still 'wheeeey' down the 
seniority list. It only took 6 1/2 guys to literally  EAT up the summer. And I was 
#20 out of 27. I put the 5 days together by saving  holidays ( I worked 
most holidays..so they owed me). I think my 2011 slot at  Williamsburg may have 
been better...but I have never seen it. A little more  modern. 'Late in the 
Evening', 'I love you just the way you are', 'Boogie on  Raggae woman', 
'Crazy', etc.
