"The Jelly Doughnuts"

As I hinted yesterday, Mark, Mike, and Ben played at the Baltic Room last night (billed as The Jelly Doughnuts). I couldn't be more specific yesterday because on Friday night, even Mark didn't know what time it was supposed to start. It turned out to be an early show: Mike began his solo set at 7:30, and after a break, he came back with Mark and Ben at 9. It was a shorter show than the previous night, but every bit as enjoyable. I don't remember exactly what they played (Debbi has the set list, so she'll be able to tell us), but there was one song they hadn't played Friday, which was listed as Deep Purple. Mark chain-smoked the whole time, and there was less chatter and clowning around than the night before. But they sounded great, and it was nice to see them in a small place.
