that sounds great. Those kind of surprise shows are rare and are to be treasured. I was once mowing my lawn when I received a phone call from a friend that Nels Cline (probably most famous as Wilco's current lead guitar player) was performing in an hour at the Ark in Ann Arbor. The ark only seats about 2-300 people. There were only about 50 people there. It had not been well publicized and it was a Wednesday. I got to check out Nels rig afterwords and asked him about some of his pedals etc. I really enjoyed the show. He might as well been playing for 50,000 people. -Amazing guitarist.
