My band will be playing at the Caravan on Central Av in Albuquerque Friday the 6th and 7th of August. Friday its just us "Rolling Thunder". and Saturday we alternate sets with a Spanish band. Patrick Pearson will be singing. Y'all know him as he comes with me to the Phoenix show in January to play and sing on my set. So c'mon down if you can. I am not sure if I will make Mike's jam as i will be playing that night and an old guy like me gets tired. LOL But I will try. Look forward to seeing the bunch from Arizona.

Yep, Denise and I were planning to be there Friday evening anyway and was going to email you and ask where you were playing.

Glad it is the Caravan - Denise said she was glad you and Patrick were going to be there.
