Friday Clock Out presents:
“I’m not sure he is doing what he thinks he is doing”
L.J. will be playing a lot of new tunes from the last month or so and a few old chestnuts that he can sing along with. It’s going to be a tossed salad of jarring non-sequitur that will cause the listener to say, “I’m not sure he is doing what he thinks he is doing?”
