> Hey Y'All,
>
> After 18 hours since my last show, I felt it was time for another. After a 3 hour nap due to getting in after 3:00 from DTB, I headed out of Toledo for Dayton, to begin getting organized for my trapshoot that starts in 3 1/2 weeks. It just so happens, the Fabulous Thunderbirds were in downtown Dayton for a free show at Riverscape Park. I figured, what the hell. I haven't seen these guys since they were on the bill with John Campbell and the Allman Brothers Band at the Memorial Aud in New Orleans for 1993 Jazzfest.

> When I arrived shortly after 5:00, It looked like a tornado hit the place. I asked what happened and I got a "where the hell were you twenty minutes ago"? I got there and the sun was shining and not a cloud in the sky. The T-Birds came on at about 8:25. The only member of the band I recognized was Kim Wilson. I ran from about 35 feet from the stage, DFC. As the set progressed, I must have attracted every drunk in the place. I even had a whistler that went non-stop for half the show! It never did rain again during the show. They played a mix of old standards and some new ones they just released. I will attempt the setlist, but there are some ?'s. They were pretty bluesy as they featured 2 guitarists with contrasting styles. The keyboards were also good. I only knew 1 person at the show out of about 5,000-6,000 people. Here is how it went down:
