Listening Lyrics

We are back - enough of the reruns as Jeanne and I were on vacation.

We came back a couple of days early and had a rerun scheduled but coundn't resist going into the studio. It felt good.

So we played some music from acts we missed - stuff we saw on the road - and some extra tidbits - check out the playlist.

We covered a lot of topics with this very special guest.
