Our fans might not know that we spend literally hours putting together our set list for our Tuesday night gigs at Mexico Lanes. What our fans probably already know is that working with a world-class talent like Dave teaches you to be flexible and to learn how to “go with the flow.” So, to show you what a big difference there can be between what’s on the page and what’s on the stage, we thought we’d share our intended set list for tomorrow’s gig along with a rough (but probably accurate) idea of what the show will end up looking like.
