Many thanks to Greg Johnson (aka 'Slim Lively') for the photos - and to everyone who came out to Duff's for our Sunday afternoon show.  It was truly wonderful to see so many familiar faces.  I have found the music scene here in Portland to be incredibly warm and welcoming - thank you!!!

Being gluttons for punishment, we headed out to the Refectory after the show to jam with Kevin Selfe.  Here's Kevin, Donny-san Shultz on drums with me and Dave Kahl.
