Good Times All Around

Wednesday, June 11, 2008 - Kickin' Out the Jams

After the pure gravity of last week's tribute, I thought it best to just lighten the mood. The blues are heavy enough, and besides, it's the summer of love here in Hot'Lanta ... I had to drop the sweetness. It was also awesome to have my dear ol' long-lost brother, the legendary Mr. T-Bone Roane, drop by for a visit. The highlight, though, was all the calls. Finally hearing from Milo and shootin' the breeze with Pappy Mahan helped things settle back in nicely. Musically, this week's mission was simple ... just playin' good jams. Keepin' it awesome. Any questions? Didn't think so. Here's the set:
