Great show last night. Johnny's tribute to the Beatles was amazing and his addition of a second guitar filled out the depth of the band. I wish I had stayed for the 10:00 PM show. Next time... As usual, Johnny's personality and humor between songs added to the fun of the night. If you get a chance to see Johnny A, you should not let it pass by.
