Hey all,

Mike Babyak here.  Sorry to barge in and promote and run--I'd actually
participate a bit more in this ng if it were more convenient, but for some
reason my Duke news server won't see any posts as "new," and it's a hassle
to manage the posts this way.

On to the promo.  Just a heads up to Carolina folks that I'll be sitting
in on guitars and steel with Cosmic Charlie, a very nice Dead tribute act
out of Athens, GA. I've played with them a bunch before and they do a
great job. All very accomplished players in their own right. John Miley,
for example, was a member of Robert Fripp's League of Crafty Guitarists.

Tix are $8/10 adv./door. Doors open at 8, show at 9.

Also, just a reminder that my Monkey Navigated Robots will be making its
(their?) debut on Wed. Aug 9 at the Pour House in Raleigh.  It's a co-bill
with Guta, a great funk act from the outer banks of NC.  No cover and it's
Mug Night!  Show time is about 10pm.

My blues band, Triple Fret, will return to Tir Na Nog in Raleigh, Friday,
Aug 18.  This show will feature one of the area's great session bassists,
Ben Palmer.  Ben has played with folks like George Benson, Jon Anderson of
Yes, and more.  No cover.  Show time is about 10:30.
