Line up?

[Bill Cunningham]

For about 10 years the SWSGA show was a highlight of my year. Then life and COVID got in the way. Excited to say I have a plane ticket, Troy has asked me to play a set, and a few buddies have asked me to support them on bass.

Looking forward to hearing a lot of great music and, just as important, catching up with old friends and making new ones in 42 days.

Guess I better go practice now!
