Thanks for the great playlist Mike. I love that Quartette song… the whole album is wonderful.

Thanks Pat. Happy New Year!

Paul Mills
Another great selection of music, Mike! And thanks for playing my instrumental ‘Clank Remembers”! It was appropriately placed after the Longest Johns fabulous version of “Mary Ellen Carter” because I wrote it in memory of Stan Rogers and played it on the very guitar that Stan wrote that song with. “Clank” was what Stan affectionately called his touring van! Happy New Year, my friend!

Happy New Year, Paul. I remember a few rides in Clank back in the day.
