Generosity.

There's lots of that in the air this weekend in Houston. Thanks to all who took part. The Alejandro Escovedo benefit was a big success - no final numbers yet, but I know there were at least 180 people at the door, plus a few large sum donations. We had a great time playing, and all the other bands sounded fantastic. (Update: the final number raised was $4,920!!)

For Mike Switzer, we have raised over $200 already, plus offers of donations of several trombones (not to mention a trombone joke or two). Mike was able to play his show on Saturday on another horn, but he's still a ways away from being able to replace his trombone, so donate now if you can.

And we flooded the House Rules station with votes - lots of people told me they were voting. We'll find out if Cindy won next Friday night.

Till then, please accept our thanks and the thanks of our friends, for helping out in a big way this weekend.
