[Rhodes22-list] Tab Benoit on KSLM

[Saroj Gilbert]

Well many thanks for sending it on... I passed it along to my cajun friend 
with whom I trade daily (long distance via Skype cause I'm in VA)... he 
couldn't stop listening to it... and I can't either... guess he wrote and 
preformed it pre Katrina then... could become an anthem for the Katrina 
disaster there...

He does tour and will be at the Rhythm Room in Phoenix later in October... 
where I used to go quite frequently when I lived out there... I may be out 
there then, but if not, I'll keep an eye out for a more local venue.

I'll check out WWOZ...

Thanks again..

Saroj
