thumbs up thumbs down !! ,

Thanks guys!

My finance and I are huge fans of the podcast. We both have gone through the identity crisis of are we still cool, can we still do live music and music festivals? Do we have to put the bong away forever? You guys have reassured us that we don’t need to loose ourselves completely and it’s all going to be okay. We’ve also found it very informative! Keep it up guys. So happy we found this podcast. It’d be cool to hear what Derek Trucks has to say. Him and Susan seem to have it down! Love you guys.
