Show Notes:
This was a show that, again, for a cover band, exceeded expectations. They have around 150 Johnny songs that they can build a set from, and a future 2-night stand showed that off in spades. And of course when the band gets progressively intoxicated, that always makes for a fun country show!

They're one of those "if you close your eyes, it's hard to tell" kind of bands, and this was taped from the usual "sweet spot" in the Loon (after around 2011, I migrated to a semi-permanent spot upstairs in the balcony, DFC, so it really helps mitigate the chatter).

Thanks be to Dennis, who deserves way more cash than I can procure. Your "thanks" makes for an adequate shekel or toonie, I promise.

I'll just continue on my path to the ring of fire.

There's always more to come, so stay tuuuuuuuuuuuned...
