[Slowhand] Slowhand Digest, Vol 13, Issue 93

[Scott Wallenberg]

As always there are lulls in the Digest. I admit being a little lazy  
on my posts as well
One thing that has probably hurt is having Where's Eric posting set  
lists and reviews that were once a mainstay of this forum

Here's a question
How many of you subscribed to Moogis.com to watch the Allman Beacon run?
You can now pay $5.99 to watch the EC show. Totally worth the money. I  
prefer the 20th show with Liz Reed being played but the 19th has  
Anyday with Susan Tedeschi.
Hello to all
