MANATEES FUN FACT: Did you know that back in 2009 we recorded one of our best live albums at Puck? It's true! We were joined by Jason Crosby on violin and keyboards, and Walter Tates Jr. on saxophones. This limited release album soon sold out and is now a treasured artifact.

JERRY GARCIA BIRTHDAY SHOW! - The fat man rocked, and on Wednesday, August 1, my friends and I will pay tribute to a great American musician and celebrate Jerry Garcia's birthday with a show at The Rising Sun Barn in Telford, PA. Many special musical guests will join together for an evening of acoustic and electric music. Showtime is 7;00 - 11:00 PM. http://www.risingsun.net A Mystic Vagabond Production.

That's all the real news for now.

Stay cool and in tune.
