Dan Holmes at Kingston Mines

A couple of nights before Easter, and the place was packed! Even the night before Easter was busy! This weekend was Brian Yarde's last gig on the books with us. I'm sure we'll meet up again, but for now, this was it. At least we ended with him on a very strong note. He sounded great and the crowd loved him. Of course, there was tons of noise for Duke (and even some for me!) as we played to old and new fans alike. Saturday night, Frank Palligrino sat in with the band on my piano for a song, then went back to the other room to introduce the next band.


I like Kingston Mines. Chicago is such a fun town.
