Last but not least I want to give a shout out to Kyle Rife. Kyle used to play in Eric Stone’s band. I got to know Kyle when Eric came to town and partied on the beach with us. We called Kyle “Ipod” because he could play any song we named. Last Saturday night Kyle played The Grand Ol Opry in Nashville. Wow! Way to go Kyle!!!

Have a great weekend and we hope to see everyone on Rocky Bayou on Saturday where we will “Embrace the Chaos!” in style!!!
