Well, if you know me or if you keep up with us on social media you've heard of the painful passing of the better half of this show, and my grandmother Bess.
She made me promise I wouldn't stop playing my music or going on so here I am carrying on the show and she appointed and approved her daughter/my mother Tara Lanning to stand in as a co-host tonight and from time to time.
On this episode we celebrate her beautiful life and legacy by sharing covers we dedicate to her, some of her classic guitar pickin', and sharing some wonderful recordings of her and I that have never been posted before.
We hope you all enjoy.
We miss you and love you more than any words could ever express Bess.
Live recordings featured in the episode:
"Kansas City" - Fats Domino
"Walk & Talk" - Norma Jean
"Hey, Good Lookin'" - Hank Williams
