Hey guys, congratulations on the C-Span appearance. I didn't know about it till yesterday and am really bummed I missed it. I watched some of the rally live and even caught about the first ten minutes of Michelle Shocked, then I left for a social engagement. But if I'd known you guys were going to be on, I would have waited! And judging by the postings to this forum (which I read only last night), C-Span probably repeated the coverage for several days afterwards, as it often does. But, again, I didn't know about it till yesterday. Did any of you tape the re-broadcast, or have you looked into obtaining a copy from C-Span? Were you jamming with Michelle the whole time you were on stage, or did you get to perform some of your songs in their entirety?Looks like the exposure has provoked quite a bit of commentary in this forum. "Wobbly" Bob emailed me a few days ago to that effect, but when I looked then, my screen was filled with a message consisting of links to other bands' websites. It was only last night that I explored further into the "previous postings" and became aware of some of the reaction to your performance. Though much of it is vitriolic, you seem to be handling it well, and it's good to see a lively discussion. Seems like you struck a nerve!
