Frank the Tank
SlapperCast Episode 274: "Frank the Tank"
This week we introduce you to our friend FRANK SARTAIN, the mysterious special musical guest we've been teasing for the past few weeks. Frank joined us on keyboards and trumpet this past Friday at the Grand Stafford Theater in Bryan and did a GREAT job.
Thanks to Greg Fugate, we have footage from the show as well. Greg has also posted a lot of it in the Official Blaggards Facebook Group if you want to go watch more of it there.

Extra Slap on the Back
SlapperCast Episode 270: "Extra Slap on the Back"
This one recorded last night after Patrick returned from Philadelphia, where he attended the funeral of his much beloved brother-in-law Tim Mohan. There's so much to be said about Tim that I don't think we can articulate yet, but Patrick does his best to do so here.
We then steer into more lighthearted topics, including our (possibly) newly-improved attitude about the Dallas area, thanks to venues like the Wounded Ostrich, where we're playing next month, and big events like the Lone Star Celtic Festival in McKinney, which we'll be playing this coming weekend.
