The Sights Tour Diary Entry No. 21: Mohegan Sun, Dude. Mohegan Sun.

I was very excited to play Sunday night’s club gig at Union Hall in Brooklyn. The promoter, Lee Greenfeld, is an honest man, and it is always nice to play for honest bookers. The room is tiny, and holds about 100. It was a perfect night after dealing with fools in Philly. We played...
