If it was closer I'd go, I just saw him twice in NYC last month.

Z man, Mary and I will see you there. John Frinzi is at Raspcallions the next night if you can make it. Did you buy tickets in advance or at the door? I understand we get a discount with our PH credentials.

I'm not allowed out that late on a school night.

Saw him last night here in Bloomington and had a terrific time. I felt bad for him because it just wasn't publicized well and through the right channels so the turn out was low.

Regardless, he and his band sounded really, really good and put forth a great effort on stage.

If you're looking for a night of great, great upbeat music that just swallows you away from the rest of life, you need to go see Bankie.

He just will make you smile!

Damb school bus driver frowned on me requesting to be picked up at the Malyn.

Good times.

Bankie did about a half hour of "sound check" which was very cool, then a local band Impulse played for about an hour and they were awesome, and may be booked for a possible Sept. 09 FL Phlocking at the Malyn...

Great show...

Thinking now about going to Moonsplash the end of March
