restaurant owned by local people and they have a restaurant called  basically story quick there's a big players up in that area and these folks all in that room what you see right there are players and the thing that really kind of cool about it all is that  they were listening to accomplish to guitar players that have between them at least ninety years of experience and it was so cool to see that happening watching them listen because these folks hero quality players and they were go things i was going to talk about too is you know the local women talk about things happening in washington

million  d he's gone and his music is still going strong i'm basically given them kind of talking about the hollow which isn't in the same realm but yet it was brother is that actually took everybody to that next level and a good thing about it is  this man has such a law we talk about brother as chemical ali but what i want to do is i want to see if i get this to operate and once we get this to operate we can let you go watch it because it's going to be really nice to see all this but we'll let you go enjoy it so really the right of you that was a brother is come and the good thing is his
