So is the ability to keep a secret.
Via e-mail, Karen and Rob hatched a plan to surprise the band. The odds were against it but there was a slim window of chance that Rob would be able to get back to NY early from Afghanistan - on New Years's eve.
With a little help from the owner of Calico Jack's, Rob snuck in through the side entrance and hung out in the kitchen up to the start of the New Year's Eve show. Karen wandered from the stage and in the shadows handed her wireless mike off to Rob who at the first strains of "We're an American Band" began singing much to the surprise of Tim and Neil. (Brian and Tim W. had yet to meet Rob in person...)
Here's to a rockin' 2009 and a tip of the glass to Chris and Larry.
