Intermezzo: Martin Features Umphrey’s
I caught the last show of Umphrey’s McGee’s recently completed Northeast run at the Nokia and I was blown away by how good the lights were.

Just a happy coincidence. Was shocked to see Anderson is a Deadhead. In fact, I didn’t think 21 year old Deadheads existed.

Did you include the Anderson / Red Sox mention because of Wade Wilby’s love for the BoSox? Go Sox!…and HT - another interesting Intermezzo from Scotty B.
