The Press Room session was bananas. I couldn't find a place by the music, so I was at the last booth before the door. I was singing, so were others, and the people down at that end were all paying attention to the music if not joining in. I needed to eat something, but eventually found a spot on the stairs.

I really hate crowds, but the music in that place was (because of the crowd) un-freakin'-believable!

Every year has been better than the last. This year though, was a solid roof-raising blow-out. We've had bigger names in past years, but so what. Rick Watson did a faultlessly elegant job on sound and the only thing wrong with the performers was that they had to stop eventually.
