October 2…In Absentia!!!
Well it had to happen eventually! From May of 2010, every first saturday of every month, plus 5 or 6 extra times just for good measure, Visceraudio gathering of some sort has occurred in the Garage. But not on October 32, 2011! Musicians and Crew party at Slim’s for the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival had just too much cache, so I asked everyone for their selections “in absentia”, and got a great response from many, see playlist below. I will confess the themes were not pulled randomly, they were picked by me! But as always a ton of great songs were suggested…
