Hey Alan,
Looks like Simon and Marcel are performing at the same event. That is very cool. Too bad I live all the way on the other end of the county.
Take care,
Mike

Is there any way that someone could videotape it and get it up on the forums? Just a small clip... it's unfortunate to be deprived of such great
music just because of distance.
