This is the best news I’ve heard all week!!!

I did! I get so frustrated by all the people who talk during performances but I enjoyed all three bands! 😊

I was there but didn’t stay til the end. I was upstairs and it just got too damn hot to stay. Glad you enjoyed it!

I like his music. Hey, did you enjoy the Drive-By Truckers show last weekend?

That’s new to me, too, but it makes a lot of sense!

Gotcha. My favorite, I think, is Ships in the Harbor. It’s one that packs a punch lyrically (even though I usually don’t catch lyrics).

I get it. Do you like Tommy’s music? To me, it’s as real as it gets. Technically perfect? No, but the emotion comes through strong and to me that’s more important than being technically perfect.

A bit of a non sequitur but are you familiar with Tommy Prine?

I agree! I think the flavors would work well together.
