Here's a new graphic for my Olympia concert. Thoughts?

I'd think about making the title more like the very end of a sentence: "---and I played John Lennon's piano!"
That way, it builds almost a child-like excitement, as in, "Hey, mom, guess what? I went to Olympia and had geoducks for the first time and it rained a lot but the mountain was beautiful when the sun was shining --- and I played John Lennon's piano!"
What about typeface? Maybe italicized or something, maybe a different colour? It seems to be getting lost against the other credits; it doesn't really come through as a title.
I agree with Matt about putting an ! so Lennon's piano! Matt are you from Olympia? Or you must have spent time here? You sound like you know it very well. We haven't fed Steve a geoduck in his visits here, and haven't eaten them ourselves yet in 20 years. (See http://www.boingboing.net/2008/06/10/geoducks-the-worlds.html and http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=geoducks) ;-) The sun was shining today but the mountain wasn't out. It will be. By Mother's Day weekend it should be great weather in Olytown!
If you don't want to change the title's font, you should add a small black stroke around the letters, and add a slight drop shadow to help separate it from the other copy.

I like the idea but a publicist friend said that when I put quote marks around the title, it looks like it's a quote from someone else.

Steve, what about just adding an ellipses?
Thank god I'm seeing stuff about Mothers Day, it means winter is going to be over one day. But that's a Canadian perspective.
