Louder please

Loud was definitely the volume du jour as we shared the stage with one of our all time FAVORITE quartets Redline and their absolutely dazzling (and loud?) sound. Watch out for these guys at the International Convention. It'll be a burner of barns. Our wonderful hosts, the chapter out of Jackson, Mississippi were wonderful to have invited us to perform on their May 31st show and open for our friends in Redline.

So we rented a van so as not to put extra miles on any of our own vehicles and make the trip as comfortable as possible for 4.. grown.. men (and 5 on the return trip), and as fate would have it, we blew a left rear tire which we didn't discover until after our meal at Longhorns about 1.5 hours along the way. Awe-some. At least we had tummies full of delicious steak as we scrambled to locate the Holy-Grail of a spare tire and mount the bad boy, before embarking on a rental-replacement trip that turned into a Gilligan's Island-esque stormy perilous quest into the heart of Memphis' seedy underbelly.

It was nearly 1am when we heroically escaped Memphis' late-nite car rental industry's lazy grasp and found ourselves in Jackson a few hours later.

No matter, however. When your feet are comfortable, life is good.

Comfortable feet.
