Well, folks- blessed as I am to be a performing bassist for a talented band of fellow musician friends, here is a 13-minute eyewitness report from a Midwestern river town food, drink and fun venue....just a little bounce back from the from the stage.

Oh, and a draft basement tape of a new song kernel......

Sorry for the 72-hour delay and more to come momentarily!

Watch what cords you yank in this life!    'Nuf said.

Next episode drops this Friday 4/25!
