      @Maree: Yes, we (3 Leg Torso) remember that gig at the Kuumbwa. We too were watching the debate with a little TV in the green room just before we went on. Thanks for coming to the show and thanks for supporting our Kickstarter campaign.

      Y'all played in Santa Cruz, CA on the night of the Sarah Palin-Joe Biden vice presidential debate. There were maybe (I'm being generous here) 20 people in the audience. This being Santa Cruz, I guess everyone was home watching the debate. Yet, you played your hearts out and it was one of the best musical concerts I've ever enjoyed. Totally enjoyed the stories. I have your other CDs and look forward to this new one. Good luck!!!
