Well, well, well; its a small world. Caught Downchild in a small club just
before we all lost their beloved piano player. I still swear to this day,
that I saw her mouth the word "hospital" to one of the members during one
of
the tunes. (afflicted with leukemia and was likely heading for some test
or
treatment right after the show).
Those were pretty successful hits and when they did clubs, you got brass,
keys, guitar, drums and bass. I'm sure they're still kicking up a storm.
I'll take any guitar jobs they might be able to offer.
