  1. I have to agree with the sit down and eat places as they do not seem like a good fit for Trower's Band. The sound was great but it was hard to get that crowd moving. Chairs were packed tight and left little room for movement. The next three venues should all be good. See you in Richmond and Norfolk. Mary

  2. Hi Pete,

    Loved your fills. If that's what you sound like in second gear, I'd like to hear fourth gear sometime. We thought you guys were great, although sound was very loud for those sitting up front. Also agree about dinner venues...annoying when wait staff come around for money while show is still in progress and you must read check and grope for wallet in darkness. We were into it, people around us were into it, but no room to wiggle. Sleep? At 7:30? We're old, but not that old! Would have enjoyed a meet & greet...maybe next time.
