Ah, I love those ideas too, sj -- but it's becoming apparent there won't be
any opener, no Blues Band, no "Green Manalishi," no "Rattlesnake Shake," no Kirwan's "One Sunny Day" (just imagine how well Rick could do that number!), no loving homage to the Mac's blues era, period.
Pardon us as we sadly cast a wreath labeled
'Unleashed, What Could Have Been' into the blue ocean...
(But to toy around with the fantasies just a moment longer, sj, wouldn't you be a little worried with Greenie in the mix? From night to night you'd never know if it would be the shining/sharp blade Green stepping onto the stage, or the faded/tired/sad Green, ya know what I mean?)
