When friends would inquire about the preparations for our final Chicago show – No Regrets (June 12th, 2022) – the most frequent comparison was to that of planning a wedding.

Maybe the most profound parallel, though, is the feverish desire that the event match the occasion. There are no do-overs on a “final” anything.
