Maybe.  It's a matter of juggling all the stuff I'm doing now.

The most recent MFF show was vastly better than the '99 Columbus 
show.  It's possible that even though Tom used much of the same 
material, he had to devote a lot of his attention to the screen and 
to timing the pieces (in that way different from the looser non-film 
versions).  But the evidence from Pittsburgh was that he and Jimmy 
are *much* more comfortable with the timing, and were able to play 
quite spiritedly.
