Your webgal was collecting the cover charge at the door. A man wanders up in search of some dinner....
RCR_fan: "It's sold out."
Stranger: "Are all these people here to hear those guys?"
RCR_fan: big nod yes
Stranger: "Is another group playing later?"
RCR_fan: "No."
Stranger: "Who ARE these guys?"
RCR_fan: "You aren't from around here, are you. These are the Original Red Clay Ramblers"
Stranger: "I'm not, but I've heard of them!"
The stranger was last seen buying a CD.
