I thought the last time he was here playing Vicar St. he was really hard to watch at times what with the lip chewing and shaking but at the same time there were moments when what he was playing was utter magic.

yeah, I'm wondering how good the international touring lifestyle is for that man? But when the money is rolling in, it won't stop, that's for sure.
