My wife and I we're yelling requests for The Cat all night long!! To no
avail....
I was satisfied with the choice of tunes myself. I'm really into the mod
side of JTQ though. The thing I didn't like was the sax players' stage
antics. On, the drum solo was unnecessary. Which reminds me of a joke -

What's the similarity between a drum solo and premature ejaculation?
You know it's coming and there's not a damn thing you can do about it!

Thank you....goodnight

peace,
