the inside story

the name of the band is (I think) the Hired Guns…because that’s what we are…it may not be a permanent band after all–because apparently nobody wants to be in a band with Bob (the frontman) permanently…*I* have a gig with them on 2/25/12 but there is a gig sooner that I’m not involved in… My […]
