– SHACK THOUGHTS –
MMW in Jamaica! This would have been great, and it seems like the moe.rons at the Throe.down weren’t overly interested in the trio which is too bad — I’m sure the small crowd that gathered were enjoying the intimate treat!

Check out the video — it sounds great and looks good! The band is tight and loose, just as we like ’em, with a nice tribute to the recently fallen Bowie, some classic tunes and KILLER improvisation! I’d love to hear them bring out some of the new tunes from 2011’s 20 singles , but I think they’d have to hang more as a trio to practice those tunes and that doesn’t seem to be happening much right now … but these 3 Jamaican sets we were just granted via Youtube is a nice gift for sure … HUGE THANKS to the guy who captured these performances!

enjoy the grooves,
dug
