Best to play places where the GD is expected/loved, like places that do a regular "Dead night", etc.

(turned into a very strange story by our bass player, clearly, with too much time on his hands)
Let the good times roll in the straw, but don't put a spell on that dire wolf. Because just like Tom Thumb from Tennessee watching those rays that shine and waiting for a miracle, he is never alone and ready to deal! Oh Darling, I got those Cumberland blues but it's all good even though he's gone truckin. The lady with a fan is trying to estimate a prophet with her crazy fingers at Terrapin Station and is hoping that dear Mr Fantasy won't have those runaway blues so he can give her some good lovin. I'd sure would second that emotion and hope they shake it sugaree.
