Even though I’m staying in this fair city another week for writing sabbaticals, drunken Holiday parties, and the occasional retail therapy session, I already feel like a part of me has left since the shows are over and done. They were really fun and thanks to all that braved the weather to come participate. This was just enough fun for me to be greased up for the proper tour to support the new record in spring when we roll back through town to some bigger venues. Nothing beats the intimate vibe of the small shows where I can smell the chicken on the plate at a fan’s table. Well, maybe not that part. I will see all of you in the spring, but not without doing this in Chicago and Atlanta next month. Oh yeah!! Butch
