Took Sonny a while to get on stage…in the first 5 numbers we got to hear some very good singing and harp playing by Brian Templeton…and then up he was wearing the smartest and freakiest suit I have ever seen.

Good set, again a little stroll in the Piazza just to let John Lee Hooker Jr. sing a couple of bars on the funkiest tune.
