I was at the Abbey show, too. Eric had a lot of new songs - he really is back on form with his writing. What a great song "Jimmy Dancer" is - Eric at his supreme best writing about his mother (Nancy) having cancer. Great backing band, great night. But, as you said, Brian - a disappointing turnout. Eric said he's not sure how long he can continue to use Chicago as a tax writeoff. I must have met you at some time - The Irish Mill is my local watering hole.
