Kudos to tour manager Eric for pulling the hook on opener Lionel Young, a fine bluesy artist but one who ignored the 5-minute warning from a functionary–the Big E could well find work as a pitching coach or big league skipper if this little tour management thang don’t work out. I mean, the bullpen was ready. ONce Young exited, the turnaround time was a record I think, 15-20 minutes, no more.
