Overall, the concert was good, a bit short of very good, but it did open an appetite for JB's music, an appetite that has been steadily growing ever since. "Gotta Get Up Every Morning" and "Highway Patrol", but everything I heard was new to me, so I needed more time to allow JB's quirky music to grow on me. I kinda liked most of the other songs performed that night, among them "I Hung It Up", "I Want To Hear It From You", JB came out with a rhythm section, but wife Tanya Rae was not there.To me, the highlight of the evening was the so-called "Surf Medley", which went on for almost ten minutes and included bits from a few non-surf songs such as "Apache", "Secret Agent Man" and "You Really Got Me".

In his capable hands, this unique instrument - half electric guitar and half lap steel guitar - produced an incredible array of sounds, among which my favorite was the low-pitched twang that sounded pretty much like Duane Eddy's guitar. I sat in the front row, so I had a perfect vantage point for observing JB's finger work on his "guit-steel", as he calls his double-neck guitar.
