Episode #42: Washboard Lissa & the CatHouse Mamas ;)

Thanks to all the musicians who played, guest soundboard operators who operated, and Pizza Mikes who brought gas station chicken. Check out Margi Cates’ ‘do by Stacey Kelly Styling!

Most of all, thank you to Lissa Driscoll for changing so many lives for the better, keeping us all on our toes, and saying ‘fuck it’ in the appropriate instances. And of course for all the music. Rest recklessly. (And peacefully, too.)
