Well, my girlfriend of 6+ years loves the band.  We spent our early college
years listening together.  She made a comment to me at the 9:30 Club show a
few weeks ago to the effect that seeing the band live again reminded her how
much she really liked the Connells and missed seeing the live on a more
regular basis.
