  1. Pete, so ready to se you guys jam tonight in Ridgefield Ct.2nd row center, cannot wait..... Wish I could also see you tomorrow in Toad's in New Haven. Saw Robin there in 1977 and the Garden in 76 I believe. You guys are so fluid, was thrilled to be at the H.O.B. show earlier.... Will be @ the meet and greet tonight with a S.F. hat on would love to take a pic with you.... Thanks for making a few great hours in our lives. Robin is a musical hero of mine, Albert King , Robin Steve Ray. God speed.... Mark
