Devon Ashley's first gig with Duke Tumatoe was in Elkhart, Indiana tonight in a club which would hold about 500 people, and we had about 70 people show up. He played well, and we had fans in the crowd telling us it was the best Duke show they'd ever seen. My only problem with the evening was that the club was so big with relatively few people, it was like an echo chamber while we performed.
You can't complain about it, especially in Elkhart. Because of the economy, Elkhart has a 18.9% unemployment rate! 18.9%!!!!
