Unfortunately not. Not that I didn't try, but they sold out almost instantly. My first visit to the Troub was 8/21/70 to see The Dillards and Longbranch/Pennywhistle (who were, you will recall, John David Souther and Glen Frey). Troub owner Doug Weston had an innovative (or exploitative, depending on your viewpoint) booking policy. The first time you did a gig at the club, you signed a contract saying that you would return to play x number of nights FOR THE SAME FEE if Doug wanted you back. That is why Joni played the Troub in '72, when she was already filling concert halls. Hmmm...maybe I should take a look at my contract with Kate Bennett... :) -- ######################################################## Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The Tinker's Own" http://www.tinkersown.com "The Living Tradition Concert Series" http://www.thelivingtradition.org/
