Hey Y'all,

We just want to check in and remind everyone that we didn't fall off the earth and we DO have a jam coming up on October 18th! This has been quite a break, but doctors have a way of "getting in the way" of one's plans. Thankfully, everything is hunky-dory, copacetic, A-OK, we are ready to jam, again!

So, shine up your dancing shoes, string up your axes, and get ready... we're back in less than 2 weeks!

Hope you all are well, content, and lovin' life. We're anxious to see your faces, again, and are chompin' at the bit to "git 'er done"!

Cheers!
