I don't know what it was...just that we were sick as dogs. Neither of us were much into that so we may have been a bit naive.

As an aside. On Thursdays I usually go to see a 92yr old pal at a local hostelry. There is a band there every Thursday all year long. They are huge fans of The Band and always play Dixie and The Weight .
