The Coach and Four - RIP?

Well, if it really was their last show last night, it was a fine exit for one of Memphis' best rock outfits. Hopefully, we'll still get that swan album out of the deal. And heck, I'm already looking forward to the band that's going to form out of this "hiatus". Thanks for the great music guys!
