Yeah, I’m promoting my band once again. It’s only because our guitar player, Jerry Johnson, is taking some time off after this gig to refresh his creative energy. At any rate, we’re throwing all caution to the wind and doing The Full Cowboy. That’s right, we’re going to shamelessly perform all the great cowboy songs, throwing in the occasional yippie-ki-yi-yo and yippie-ki-yi-yay. Wendy Nordquist is even going to yodel.

So come on down to the campfire at the Tavern Lounge, tonight from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and join Jerry, Wendy, Lance Heisler and me in Blue Moon. It’s the one time a year that we’ll show you The Full Cowboy.
