Hey guys, I was bored so I made this for you using my silhouette pic I took of you at BarnBash11 and Beth Brown’s logo. (Hope you don’t mind Beth and ty) Also, I asked Perry and Caren from the Gridley Inn if they heard from you, they told me no.
Sure would be nice to see you all there! Take Care!

Studies are inconclusive as to whether washboard/kazoo music improves, harms or otherwise impacts your health. Thanks for taking a chance and making space for some vaudevillian ragtime/jugband blues and hillbilly swing! Best, joebass, michael, parrish

You want to change the world, Change yourself, change your behavior, change your conditioned thinking. Begin by looking inward. As you change, you change the world. Look outward, see how all you do effects the entire universe, realize that all is interconnected, and each individual is also the sum of all. Look deeply and contemplate, you will see that you are the sunshine, the clouds, the air, the earthworms, the water, the trees! You do not exist alone. If all does not exist, you do not exist. Change begins with you! ***~*~
