10/11  Teatro Augusteo, Napoli.  Marco Parisi, the promoter & road manager for the Italian leg of the tour, met me at the airport and drove me to the Teatro August.  It was a very hectic day.  My gear took a beating on the flight and needed repair work.  The first concert of the tour had the expected number of train wrecks, but was exciting nevertheless.  I was trying too hard to stay awake and concentrate on the music to be messing with a camera during the concert, so I didn't.

The first gig is the hardest.

The start of a regular routine - running the Barbershop Quartet before we go on.

My set list.  Over the tour they got messier with intentional misspellings.  This one survived, but people were grabbing them off the stage as souvenirs.  One gig, Jesse's was stolen before we had finished.
