I didn't know that.

I, I played, you know, at home, but, um, he got me to come into the studio and record for the, The Big Mon, and, uh, he said, um, "Bring your banjo with you when you come." Really?

we ended up doing the show my friends met my friend max mcdonald from no motive band i was previously in uh was there and he hadn't seen us in a long time and it's kind of one of those things that like Sometimes, like, you can have thousands of people at a show and you're only thinking about one person.
