What a great show in central park yesterday! I am visiting from Scotland and it sure was a treat to see a show like that! Sharon and the band sounded great and I love what you're doing with Daptone - the whole day had a stax/volt revue kind of vibe, the other 2 acts were great also. Hopefully you guys will be back in the UK soon!
