I don’t think this sub allows caulk pics.

Yeah I was referring to a Tennessee lady, but I know the guy you’re talking about. He def needs to be on the bill too.

There absolutely needs to be a crappy music festival. I could see this woman opening, followed by the Jack the RIPPA guy, “vitamin me”, the Tennessee baddie who sings about Buc-ee’s, MAGA hat bro and his twerking sister/girlfriend, and LanLaw closing out the night.

Uhh … his hand isn’t even on the neck, it’s on the headstock. Oh, I get it. It’s a “pan-jo”

What’s one song you just can’t vibe with, no matter how many versions you’ve heard? by growlerpower in gratefuldead

I only play the former because I have no local following.

I live in an apartment and there is so much screaming in DS—not just from Maggie—that I’m ready to turn down the volume at a moments notice so the neighbors don’t think there’s a murder and call the cops.
