...feel you might be seeing in intimate circumstances for the last time. But sometimes I think that because they're basically a beer, bar and good-time band, fit for small places and close rapport, they'll stay in that closed circle--in which case Cambridge is still like Berkeley, where you can check into a club and see Garcia and Saunders or Asleep at the Wheel on a Tuesday night with nothing to do.
