playing catch-up: episode 4

 Meanwhile back at the ranch, Angel is grumbling to herself, "DANG! I wish she'd get that dadgum... doggone... doofus of a camera out of my face while I'm trying to take my nap!"
 But in the REAL news dept. we have a way cool public service announcement of the musical variety. Davy's band, A Basement Rendezvous, went into the studio to record their official EP! It has just been mixed and is almost finished. It will be available sometime in the near future on iTunes, CD Baby, Facebook, dropped from planes, hanging from trees, slid down chimneys, and in the trunks of at least 20 cars that I can think of right off the top of my head. In other words, IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME AND WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR THEM!!!
 Henry letting loose on his violin. Lurve, lurve, LURVE. IT. 
 Jimmy focusing on that gorgeous bass of his.
 Johnny boy! Hey, where are your mad guitar skills?
 Davy so serious and loving how his new guitar sounds.
THE MOUSE?!?! That's right - he has become so good on that banjo of his, Davy wanted him playing on his Welsh folk song "Crigog Ross" (most fans know it as "Moses"). Way to go Mouse!!!
And speaking of the Mouse, he did a very brave thing a few weeks ago: performed solo at his first open mic night :) He played and sang "Wagon Wheel" by the Old Crow Medicine Show, and did a fantastic job! It was a great night, a terrific crowd, and they showed him much appreciation! 
***UPDATE: below is the video***

Over and OUT!
