Check out a few more shots of Jack doing his thing after the turn.

Rest in peace Jay and thanks for sharing your music. In memory of Jay, here are some photos from a show at the Doug Fir lounge in the summer of 2008.

Check out a few more pics of the new and improved Grover after the turn.

Congratulations Steve!
