Summertime..and the livin' is easy!
 
A lot of cool stuff going on this summer, in and around this ole Vinyl world.
Looking forward to our free outdoor shows coming up later in the season. The real fun happens on Ed's back porch as the whole gang sleeps under the stars (sort of) - stacked like cord wood.
Hope to see all of you out there sometime this summer. Thanks for the emails. I think some of you thought we had disappeared!
