Mack Winston & the Reflections: Mack, Ben, Jesse, Sweet Joey, Brady"For the Benefit of Mr. Kite, Bob Dylan challenges Jeff Lynne to a game of Pac-Man in the green room at the Ed Sullivan Theater." That was Peter's description of the band's track, Dark Dark Night.
An adaptation of a famous operatic orchestral interlude written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1899 swarms the opening of the song like a dizzy hive of drunken bees that just got stirred up. It's a brilliant composition with all of the elements to keep you eager for more till the last drop of the song.
Brady with his kick-ass '64 Gretsch bass
Mack Winston's clever lyrics are dappled with 4-syllable words, and the combination of his alluring voice with strong rhythm section and the sweet extra compliment of Jesse, the keyboardist, on the house B3, concocts a hunger for the songs that creeps under your skin. There's even a hint of the Doors (could it be that's just because Ben, the guitarist, slightly resembles that guy......what was his name?...).
Mack on the Flying V Sweet Joey on drums
Anyway, this is rock 'n' roll, no foolin' around. Intelligent, aesthetically pleasing, the real deal.

Awesome guys, too. We could have hung around all night, a few enjoying their ride on the NightTrain Express, geeking out about gear and enjoying the company.
