    Lead singer chick "C" was ensconced at her favorite office away from home spot at Espresso Yourself at 6441 Frankford Avenue - Philadelphia, PA 19135-3031 and got pulled into playing a couple of songs for an impromptu performance. The best part was she got to play on a very nice man's Taylor guitar (she covets one badly), had a guitar pick in her pocket but, alas, lacked a capo. All in all, it made for a great surprise. She played Burning Bridges and the new cautionary lullaby Roll On.

    Speaking of performing (how was that segway?) C will be playing a few songs
    solo on Wednesday night at Big Heads (OM) at 2806 Street Road - Bensalem, PA 19020 around 8pm.
