First show of hopefully many more.  Technical difficulties forced me to play first a couple songs I had saved up for the rnb section of the show (sorry, sort of a newb, ha).. Big up’s to Kevin, hometown friend stationed in San Diego who came on to say what’s up and share his experiences in the Navy.. Hope you can tune in next week!
