Phillip, Are you guys playing anywhere soon? My husband and I would love to hear you guys play. I used to hear my dad sing "Working on a Building" all the time in church when I was little. Listening to it brought back some good memories of him. Thanks!
Thanks for the add -- and I'm speaking to my former bandmate here -- you still play like a mad mofo. Sounds awesome. Little bit different than what we used to do together. Still got that hilarious electric mandolin?
