so, in celebration, you can download "Goodnight is not Goodbye" for free here: https://dannrusso.bandcamp.com/track/goodnight-is-not-goodbye-2

tonight I get to hit Tres Gatos in JP, MA solo to take part (again) in one of their Tribute nights!
this time the theme is "1984" and I'll be playing "I'm on Fire," "Pride (In The Name of Love)," and "Runaway." This was a great year for music and it'll be a great night. The night starts at 8, and I play around 9:30.
see you there! (Click here for more info)

Middle East Downstairs in ten years.

Psyched cannot describe what I feel. Will you share it with me?
