  1. What can one say about Killy? She’s a force of nature.

    While we enjoyed her 2009 show more that this year’s, her energy, amazing talent, charm – yeah… she’s got charm – are irresistible.

    The band was great . The sound system in Under St. Marks is hardly state of the art, and thus it was difficult to understand many of the lyrics. A “libretto” would have been helpful. In fact… Killy – would you please e-mail us the words to the songs?

    Good job, guys! Loved it!
