I was at the concert last night (#13) in Columbus and even had back stage passes, so we got to hang out a bit and see him and the band after the show. That was my 3rd time meeting him and he was gracious and friendly as always. I got him to sign the sheet music of "The Wreck" I've had for years. One neat thing I noticed was that on the older songs like "The Watchman's Gone" some of the phrasing/notes are a little different. I'm sure a lot of this is because of the vocal challenges now, but I told him it gave the old songs a freshness and was almost like hearing them again for the first time. Wonderful evening, the band was very tight tone and rhythm-wise and really seemed to be enjoying themselves as much as we were. Got to hear CRT, I may try and post a set list later.
