I’LL BET THIS IS A GREAT SHOW, HOWEVER SINCE I AM FORCED TO WATCH WABW, GEORGIA PUBLIC TV, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO ENJOY.
THIS STATION HAS CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH PICTURE BREAKUP AND THE MOST ALFUL AUDIO DELIVERY IN THE WORLD. POP POP POP SOUND LIKE A BASBALL CARD IN THE SPOKES OF A BICYLE. YES I’M OLD. I HAVE LISTENED TO SHORTWAVE TRANSMISSIONS OF BETTER QUALITY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN WFSU, FLORIDA PUBLIC TV IS AIRING THIS SHOW. I’LL TRY WATCHING IT AGAIN.
THANK YOU.

Is this show on the road? If so, where can we see the tour dates. I would gladly travel from Quebec, Canada to the States anytime to hear these wonder singers.
Many thanks.
