Set 3


Comment
March 2001 marked the end of the Linda Gail Lewis era. Only Volume 1 includes Linda Gail material.
In retrospect it wasn't a bad year-when I listen to what Van is performing in 2007. You won't find too many of the songs in this compilation in his present day set list-which IMO is a crying shame. OK - Enough lamenting!!!!
