Here's some synchronicity - a year or so ago I was in LA with a punkish
band called the Adults and we opened for Chuck E Weiss at a joint called
the Garage. About twenty people showed up and 18 of 'em left when the
Adults were done. The reason I was thinking about this today before I
check my mail was that I was telling Tony Gilkison's sister Eliza about
meeting him that night and what a phenomenal player he was.
