  1. Was at the show last night in Ottawa. I have been a fan for 35 years and can only say that the show was awesome. How do you do it ladies? You sounded better than you did when I first heard you perform. Bravo and keep it going. In this era of music pretenders , it is refreshing to experience real rock at its best.
