FREE FESTEVAL- Rythms On The Rio - August 22-23

Michael — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 16:26:59 GMT

I wanted to let you know about a free festival we are putting on in South Fork CO, on August 22nd and 23rd 2009.

The festival is called Rhythms On The Rio (www.rhythmsontherio.com).

It will be a free 2 day festival with on-site and local camping. It will be a pass the hat donation based benefit for the Rio Grande Headwaters Land Trust, and the High Valley Community Center for kids, and is being put on by The South Fork Music Association, a non-profit volunteer 501-3C Group.

Headling acts will include the Nershi-Law Trio (formerly Honkeytonk Homeslice) and friends, Great American Taxi, and others. Appearing with Bill and Jill Nershi will be Scott Law, and Darol Anger (plus maybe some other unannounced guests). The Darol Anger Trio, and others, will also appear that
day. On August 23rd 2009, Great American Taxi (and friends), Susan Gibson, Pete Kartsounes, and
others will also be appearing.

The festival will take place on the grassy banks of the Rio Grande river in the San Juan mountains of South Fork CO (just over Wolf Creek Pass from Pagossa Springs and west of Alamosa in the town of South Fork on highway 160), on August 22nd and 23rd 2009. It is easy to get to, and should be a kind, relaxed, real good time for everyone. Tickets are free, but must be downloaded off of the web site.

Can you please help us get the word out by putting up news on your site as a free festival? Please check out the web site, and if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me at 303-898-3328 or by email. Thanks!

Michael

Free Music Downloads at GabyVmusic.com

gabyvmusic — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 21:57:43 GMT

Hey Friends,

I just created a site called GabyVmusic.com. This was an idea a friend of mine had to help give me a little spark with the music creating process. The idea is to have one new song posted on my site each week. The spark has really worked and I am already on week number 4, which means I have already uploaded 4 new songs.
Each song posted is totally original and unique to the going's on in my life for that week. I have vowed to follow through with the weekly creation for one full year, so that means at the end of the year I will have a total of 52 new, original songs. Anyone can go on the site (GabyVmusic.com) to listen to and download songs.
People who subscribe to the blog (that's you!! :>) and/or email list can get the song emailed to them immediately when the new song is posted each week.
I am really trying to run with this thing. I am asking for feedback from anyone and everyone on the GabyVMusic.com site. Subscribers can give their own recommendation on themes for upcoming week's songs and also post responses and critiques to songs already posted.
So, if you get a minute, check out GabyVmusic.com and listen to the Songs of the Week!
Much love to you all.
Gabriel Velazquez

3 new multi-tracked songs uploaded to MySpace

LisaB — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:47:44 GMT

NOTE FROM THE BAND:

Hello Friends,

We've just uploaded 3 new songs to our MySpace page, please stop by and take a listen!

http://www.myspace.com/honkytonkhomeslice

If you enjoy them, please consider purchasing copies to download onto your MP3 players. We're independent music makers and YOUR purchases are what enables us to keep making music...

These new songs are from the December 15th concert we played at the Oriental Theater in Denver, Colorado and feature special guests Keith Moseley on electric bass & Christian Teele on drums. The show was professionally recorded on multi-tracking equipment, and we then chose these 3 songs to have professionally mixed so they sound their very best:

Black Clouds
Pieces Fall
Why You Been Gone So Long

Many thanks for your support, we appreciate you!

GO TO THE TROPICAL HOEDOWN !!!!

Phil — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 16:38:16 GMT

Listen folks, does it get any getter than this? Those of you who have attended either or both of the last two HTHS Hoedowns know how incredibly great it is to catch music of this quality in an intimate setting. And this year's Hoedown will be in a setting quite a bit warmer than the last; perhaps a difference of about a hundred degrees.

The airfare is not that expensive, and lodging is way cheap. Think of lovely white sand beaches by day and great music at night. Look at that line-up, willya? Billy, Jilian, Scott, Timmy, Drew, Tyler, Eric, Sharon and Jason???? Come on, think of the potential combinations and permutations.

Stacy and I are booked and we are going and we are fired up and we want to see you there.

If you don't go you will wish you had. Don't do that. Go.

Yer Papa has spoken.

HTHS and Assembly of Dust

Phil — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 03:54:17 GMT

Stacy and I attended the HTHS/Assembly of Dust show last night at the Independent. This note is to add my two cents worth concerning this colloboration.

We all love Billy, Jilian and Scott. They're fantastic and have gotten so much better as the have played together more. They're not to be missed.

But if you are on the fence about shows during this run, fall off and get yer arse to one or more. We had never heard Assembly of Dust previously and I got my socks blown off. They're the nest new band I have heard in a long time. Great songs that are well-played -- that's why I attend live music . . . how about you? The colloboration with all musicians on stage for the last set was off-the-hook.

Yer Papa says this is not be missed.

Phil

HTHS Divine Shakti Foundation Michael Everett Poster

dirtgirl — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 06:48:56 GMT

Hi Folks,

I posted an image of the poster on the photo section of the site. We have a few of these posters left so please let John or I know if you want one.

This poster was from a benefit for the orphanage project, held at Big Basin Vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains on Feb. 10, 2007. Along with Billy, Jill, and Scott, Dan Lebowitz from ALO sat in for much of the music (but was not noted on the poster).

"The orphanage project will take orphaned and abandoned girls (many of whom are currently living in refugee centers) from India and Nepal and bring them to a place where they will be both cared for as well as given the physical, emotional and spiritual springboards which will enable them to live lives that are full, productive and positive." For more information, please visit www.divineshaktifoundation.org

If you would like to donate for the poster, we are asking for $50 plus $10 s/h. They are a limited edition of 75, signed and numbered 11x17" prints. Please contact John or Kristen at labonte@lifesci.ucsb.edu

Peace,
Kristen

Changes to the Honkeytonk Homeslice show at the Attic Fri.

misujerr — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 06:11:37 GMT

I spoke with Derek earlier and he said that the guy from the Attic double booked the show (d'oh!) so it looks like it will be Derek (Bodkin - terrific banjo & guitar, myjamspace.com/DerekBodkin) 1st for a short set, then a full HTHS set, then after that, an all girl funk band (Goddess of Funk (?)) will play. Since the cutoff time there is 11:00, I am not sure how the timing is going to work out...
Take care, Greg.

8/4-5: Derelict Wannabe Has-Beens - Don't Miss It!

LisaB — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 01:37:25 GMT

Pass it on!
ox, LB
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Led by former Leftover Salmon bass-player Tye North, Derelict Wannabe Has-Beens
is a trio of almost virtually virtuostic thrill-seekers interpreting original and
classic tunes from the gamut of rock, funk and americana genres... Scott Law (Honkytonk
Homeslice) and Rich Sellars (Floydian Slips) round out the six-armed unit. Sorta
Mind-melded since 2005, DWHB's telepathic nuance and musical sense of humor
is unrivaled on planet earth and only understood or even recognizable in the vacuum
of outer space. Relentlessly subduing and neutralizing innocent chord progressions
who have posed no recognizable threat is the mark of these heathens and their jokes
aren't funny. They do rock with panache, however and play everything from Woody
Guthrie to Charlie Parker.

Spring Meltdown Cabins in Yosemite are SOLD OUT!!! But...

Corinne — Mon, 10 Apr 2006 14:57:35 GMT

But, that doesn't mean that you can't come! There are still tickets available (and if you have your cabin, but not your ticket, be sure to purchase your ticket so you don't get shut out!)

There is still plenty of on-site camping available (if you are planning on camping, be sure to make your reservation!)

If you don't want to sleep out under the stars, check out the butter homepage www.hotbutteredrum.net for alternative lodging off site.

The weather is warming up, the falls are beginning to rage, and I for one am ready for some outdoor music fun! See you there! C.

HonkyTonk Homeslice and Hot Buttered Rum May 5-7

DC — Tue, 14 Mar 2006 17:10:56 GMT

Hot Buttered Rum is proud to present:

Spring Meltdown
May 5-7, 2006
The Evergreen Lodge
Yosemite, CA

Join us for another amazing Meltdown in Yosemite featuring at least 2 full sets from Hot Buttered Rum each night.

We are excited to welcome Honkytonk Homeslice , featuring Bill Nershi from String Cheese Incident, who will also be performing both nights. These two bands have a short, but storied history collaborating together and this weekend is sure to create many lasting musical memories as well. So gather your friends and family and join us in beautiful Yosemite National Park for an epic weekend of music and outdoor fun!

Cabins and camping on-site at Evergreen Lodge will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis with additional camping and lodging also available in the area. Capacity is limited and this event will sell out, so make your reservations soon!

We encourage you to come up early and join us at The Evergreen on Thursday as both bands will be hanging out, pickin' and recreating before the masses arrive on Friday. It will be great time to spend some time with us and who knows what kind of fun we might create!

Friday night will boast a Cinco de Mayo theme and Saturday night feature a Spring Meltdown theme. So, dress in your approriate festive wears!

FAMILIES ARE WELCOME! to this weekend event and there will be cool communal activities planned at the Evergreen and in the mountains. Guests coming to the Spring Meltdown should not expect a “typical” Lodge experience and should be fully prepared for a music-filled weekend with spirited fun throughout the day and late into the night.

Yosemite in the Spring!
May is an exciting and amazing time to visit Yosemite National Park as waterfalls are booming, wild flowers are blooming, wildlife is in abundance after a long winter and snowcapped peaks surround in all directions. Besides hanging out at the lodge and enjoying cool workshops each day, you can expect folks to be hiking, biking, climbing and fly-fishing. Join one of the lodges guided trips or go explore with friends.
A truly memorable and beautiful weekend awaits! See you soon!

More information will become available in the coming weeks…check back for updates!

Honkytonk Homeslice
Honkytonk Homeslice features Bill Nershi, guitarist, singer, songwriter from The String Cheese Incident , collaborates with his wife Jilian, who sings, plays guitar and contributes her original songs, and which features an ever evolving cast of characters.

-------------------------------------------------

An Update from The Pangaea Project

The Pangaea Project Benefit weekend has been an important inspiration and catalyst for The Everyone Orchestra. Come show your support and celebrate with us as we prepare to send the first group of students abroad.

There's a lot of excitement happening at The Pangaea Project! Northeast Portland is home to the new International Headquarters, the first group of Pangaea participants has been selected for the inaugural program, Environmental Justice in Ecuador, and they have begun their four-month local training period centered around team-building, environmental justice, Ecuador, and becoming Change makers. Our goal is to inspire our students to see that they don't have to be rich or famous to make a difference in this world, and that all over the world, from North Portland to the Amazon rainforest, there are grassroots community leaders who are working to make this world a better place.

In July, the students will travel from the Northern Highlands of Ecuador to the Amazon rainforest, then tour the Galapagos Islands, experiencing both ecologically challenged and pristine environments. The trip will culminate in a two-week host family stay, where they will work alongside Ecuadorians on environmental restoration projects. Upon return to their home community in Portland, students will do community service projects, give presentations to schools and civic groups, and create a Final Cultural Celebration for the public. They will also attend the National PeaceJam conference, where 12 Nobel Peace Prize winners from around the world, including the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu will meet with thousands of youth from across the United States to inspire them to make a positive difference in the world.

Read more updates about the program on The Pangaea Project website.

Link to your HTHS photos?

If any of you have photos of Honkytonk Homeslice up on an internet site and would like us to link them to the fan photo page on http://www.honkytonkhomeslice.com please post the link here on this thread!

I'll be updating the fan photo page sometime in the relatively near future, but it's likely won't be able to spend a ton of time searching for links, so any help would be much appreciated. I know there are some great photos out there and we'd love to help you share them with the world.

We're specifically looking for photos from the recent HTHS-RRE ski tour, but will also gladly add photo from other tours.

HTHS set on Saturday night, February 11

Phil — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 21:14:41 GMT

The HTHS set list below is from Kim, who posted this on the Earthboard. Needless to say, this final night of music was off the hook. Thomas and Ben treated us to a wonderful set of cool mandolin music (including a cover of Blind Faith's "I'm Wasted and I Can't Find My Way Home"). Then Railroad Earth played a long, kick-ass set:

Long Way To Go
Mighty River
Like a Buddha
Mourning Flies
Dover to Dunkirk
Water Fountain Quicksand
Warhead Boogie -->
Stillwater Getaway
Real Love
Dance Around Mollie -->
Dandelion Wine
7 Story Mountain
Bird in a House
Railroad Earth

THEN, the following marathon (thanks Kim!!!):

Setlist:
Honkeytonk Homeslice & All-Star Jam
2/11/06 (set 3) -- Jackson, WY
11:00 p.m.-2:35 a.m. (3 hr, 35 min)

--------------------

The music this night at the Spring Creek Ranch Convention center
started at around 6:45 with an opening set of Ben Winship and Thomas
Sneed. The Railroad Earth set started at 8:15 until around 10:30;
and then THIS set went on FOREVER. For those of us that were there
when the music started, it was an 8+ hour test of endurance. By the
time the music finally stopped, everybody in the room was completely
exhausted -- except the musicians. I found out the next day that the
musicians continued on with a green-room cluster-pluck until around
5 a.m.!!!

I had a great time spending time with many dear friends, and meeting
many new ones. This was an amazingly beautiful and functional
location for an event like this –even though it was REALLY, really
cold. (highs of 14-19 degrees during the gorgeous sunshine of the
day, and lows down to -20 at night when we were all walking back to
our condos after the show. BBRRRRrrrrrrrrrr! ") Even so, what a
GREAT weekend! (Thanks LisaB, for pulling this wonderful event
together! )

Peace,
--KIM--

telluride slice

jpec — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 18:25:24 GMT

just want to drop in and say how much scott law adds to the honkytonk sound. i was worried about finally having to see them in a bar setting, but they sounded great in telluride. john andy and tim joined for a bit on the first night, and it was just the trio on night 2.

scott really stepped up on the electric for the 3rd set. btw---true to telluride tradition billy announced his birthday each night and of course had many, many shots bought for him. he also spanked some dude with his lap steel when the dude said something like i dare you to kick me in the balls.

all in all a fun time in telluride. looking forward to some more slice this week!!!

Honkytonk Homeslice in the hills of WV!

Dave — Mon, 23 Jan 2006 16:36:28 GMT

Friends and Family,
12 years ago, Becca and I were married in a small ceremony. We were surrounded by family, a few of our friends and many of our parent’s friends. Since then we’ve been saying that we would like to renew our vows, but this time surrounded by our friends. With this in mind we decided to put together a weekend where our friends could come together, to not only help us celebrate the renewal of our vows, but to also dance, hoop, and enjoy life! And what better to do this than to have a party with our favorite musicians providing the soundtrack?

On the afternoon of April 8th, Becca and I will be renewing our vows and you all are welcome to attend. On Friday April 7th (our pre-wedding reception) and Saturday April 8th (our post-wedding reception) we will be lucky enough to have………….

Honkytonk Homeslice w/special guest Jason Hann!

2 sets of music, both Friday and Saturday nights!!!

For those not familiar with the band, Honkytonk Homeslice is an acoustic act formed by Jilian Nershi and Bill Nershi (of the String Cheese Incident), with the recent addition of Scott Law. Jason Hann (of the String Cheese Incident) will also be joining in for this special weekend of music.

Location:
Everything will take place at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling WV. Oglebay is a 1700 acre resort that has pretty much everything. A children’s zoo, indoor and outdoor pools, a nature center, hiking trails, golf courses (including a Palmer course), playgrounds, paddle boats ……….. Plenty of info can be found at

http://www.oglebay-resort.com/

Oglebay is within 10 hours of Boston, Chicago, Nashville, and Atlanta, conveniently located right off of I-70. Specific directions within the park will be distributed with the tickets, when they are mailed out.

Tickets:
Tickets are $75 per adult for a 2-night event pass. Tickets for kids attending with a paid adult are discounted as follows: ages 0-10 can attend for free, ages 11-17 are $40 each. This will get you 2 full nights of extraordinary music. Sorry, no single day passes are available at this time (check back one week prior to the event).

**To help insure the overall success of this event, everyone is strongly encouraged to purchase tickets as quickly as possible. This will help me sleep a little better a night! ;-) Also worth mentioning is that there are a limited number of tickets for the event and we fully expect a sell out, so buy your tickets early to make sure you don't miss out.**

To purchase tickets with your credit/debit card, send $75 per ticket ($40 for kids aged 11-17) to honkytonkhomeslice@comcast.net via PayPal. Please include $4.50 for shipping and handling. (tip: cut and paste the email address from here to be sure you don't mis-type it.)

If you prefer, you are welcome to purchase your tickets with a money order. Just send us a note and we'll give you details.

All tickets will be mailed out the last week of March via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation. This seems to be the cheapest, quickest and safest option.

Please join the Honkytonk Homeslice in WV discussion group at
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/HonkytonkHomesliceWV/
after buying your tickets to stay up-to-date on event info and to meet the folks who will be attending!

Lodging:
There are several options for lodging within the park. The most affordable (and enjoyable in my opinion) would be to stay in one of the parks many cottages. These sleep anywhere from 8-24 people and provide everything you could want. Heat, AC, fireplaces, full kitchen, carpeted bedrooms …… We have a block of 6 cottages being held in out name for the weekend that are all relatively close to each other. Here are the cottage names, occupancy and price for the weekend (Check in Friday @ 4pm and check out Sunday at 11am). Adding an extra night (Thursday or Sunday) can be done for $85 per night.

Fern 8 $410
Oak 8 $390
Redbud 16 $585
Tulip 16 $585
Viburnum 13 $410
Ulmus 16 $585

Again, these are cottages that are being held for the party and are all pretty close together. However, there are many more cottages available that weekend. Some are a little farther away, but will be quieter and others are right in the middle of the Palmer golf course in the event you’re a golfer. Check the Oglebay website to get the specifics on all of the cottages.

Use the discussion group as well to coordinate staying in the cabins. I think it would be great to fill the 6 cabins listed above and have 80 or so people staying pretty much together

Another option is Wilson Lodge which is located right in the middle of the park. Wilson lodge has a variety of rooms available for the weekend and has extras like a bar, restaurant, indoor pool, hot tub, arcade, and so on. Rates vary depending on the room type.

Other pertinent information:

This is an all ages event and everyone is encouraged to attend! Oglebay is a really neat place and should provide an excellent setting for this magical weekend. If it appears there will be a number of children present we will try to arrange for some special activities for the little people!

The shows will take place outdoors under huge shelters. In the event of bad weather we do have indoor alternatives which are also in the park. Weather in WV in April can range from 35 degrees to 75 degrees but usually falls in the high 50’s-low 60’s.

The line-up of Bill Nershi, Jilian Nershi, Scott Law and Jason Hann is confirmed. There is still a very distinct possibility that this line-up will continue to grow. Also, if it appears that there is a demand for late night music, we have a location within the park and some possibilities for this as well.

In addition to Becca and I renewing our vows, we have some other things lined up to take place during the weekend. Details to follow as things develop. By attending the event, don't feel that you are required to attend out vow renewal.

** On a personal note. I am ecstatic while also somewhat overwhelmed by the potential of this weekend. I would love for everyone to be involved with this. If you can bring decorations for the show, if you have skills (said in Napoleon Dynamite voice) that could enhance the weekend, if you have suggestions for other activities, PLEASE let me know! It goes without saying that we are part of a remarkable community, let’s see what can happen when we band together on this one. This might be the last time the Eastern half gets Honkytonk Homeslice for 2 full nights of 2 sets in a LONG time. **

Any questions can be directed to
Honkytonkhomeslice@comcast.net

Or call me after 2:30 pm EST at 304-650-0702
or Becca @ 304-650-0737

Hope to see you all in April!

deadesq Jamcruise Report & Pix

deadesq — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 16:39:42 GMT

Okay, I decided while on board that there was no way to accurately put into words the total experience Jamcruise was. So I'll just say it this way. It was the best musical experience I've ever had. Period. Yeah, that's a pretty tall claim, but there were dozens of moments that made it that way. I should probably do some kind of show review just to remember the entire thing, but there was WAY too much music, WAY too much fun, and WAY too little sleep to do it justice. Link to pix are below.

If you have ever thought of going on Jamcruise, just do it. Find a way. At some point, they will run out of cruise lines willing to take on Jamcruisers, and you'll be out of luck. I don't think the MSC cruise line had any clue what was going to hit their ship, but I suspect Jamcruise will be on another cruise line next year. Yes, there were some bad things that happened, but it was more just the intensity and fullness of the experience. On most cruise ships, I'm sure the bartenders wind down around 2am or so, when the cabaret and karaoke acts are done. On Jamcruise, 2am is when things start hopping. I'm told that there was 5x the alcohol consumption on Jamcruise as a regular cruise. I think that number is probably low. Our cabin maid said that on a normal cruise, she's done with room cleaning by noon and has three hours off. On Jamcruise, many people weren't even awake by noon. The crew were probably as tired as we were.

It was a six-day floating festival with luxurious accommodations, better food, and far more cross-pollination of musicians than I've ever seen before. I saw my favorite musicians standing wide-eyed watching other musicians, blown away at what they were seeing. The Jam Room in Le Cabaret, which usually didn't get started until 1am, was the birthplace of some unbelievable music, with musicians cycling through, picking up each others' instruments. I think the earliest the Jam Room shut down was 6am. Long after I collapsed from fatigue, anyway. The normal ship musicians, who got a week off from doing their regular gigs, sat in with the best in the industry, and they looked like heaven had descended to meet them on the high seas.

Everyone asks what my favorite set was, and it's pretty easy for me--Remarkable Elba Kramer's second show. Unfrickinbelievable. If there are not grooves worn into the dance floor of that ship from that set, I'll be very surprised. Honorable mentions to Michael Franti's pool deck set, and of course, the Everyone Orchestra. Very interesting sets from Les Claypool who I would not probably have gone to see otherwise, and an incredibly powerful "Hey Jude" from the Brain Damaged Eggman that had a thousand people singing "nah, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah nah" at the top of their lungs. I can only imagine what a passing ship might have thought of that one. Of course, probably the primary reason I was on board, Honkytonk Homeslice, sounded so, so sweet with the hopefully permanent addition of Scott Law, and a sit-in by Jason Hann. Well, Jason pretty much sat in with everyone. I think he must have super powers to fly from one gig to the next like that. And I didn't know that he also plays with Isaac Hayes. That's some serious musicianship there.

The interaction between music fan and musician was wonderful. Where else in the world are you going to get a chance to sit at the same dinner table as your favorite musicians, and talk, oddly enough perhaps, about everything BUT music? More than the "great show, man" conversations you might get to shout out in passing as the musicians walk off stage. Real, quality time. The same for tour friends. I met in person a lot of people I've cyber-known for years. And I made some new friends along the way. I also want to thank Daev, Molly, CJ & Joe for celebrating my 40th with me at dinner, accompanied by a really good cake courtesy of the ship crew. Erin also made sure I had my lenses and camera taken off before Daev pushed me in the pool for a birthday splash. I picked January 10th as the day to celebrate, since it's a week before the actual day. It will be a birthday I won't soon forget.

And the shore stops--I wish I had more time on the ground, but I know I want to go back to Jamaica some time soon. What a beautiful country. Same for the Cayman Islands and Mexico, the latter of which always seems closer to home for me, having grown up 60 miles from the border. Oddly enough, we saw hooped road signs at every shore stop. I took pictures of them, and put them up in the Hooper Directory at www.deadesq.com.

Of course, the good must be balanced, like yin and yang, with the bad. The last day of the cruise was a very, very hard one for many of us as word spread quickly through those who knew her that Missy Baron would no longer be dancing with us in person. I cried most of the day, and I'm still overwhelmed by the reality of it, not wanting to believe it still. When I got back to shore, I checked my emails, and the first two I saw were from Missy, telling me she was leaving on her trip east, and leaving her contact information where she could be reached. Phew.

Anyway, I've probably blathered on far longer than anyone cares to read, and my fingers and brain are tired. As you might imagine, I took one or two pictures. I split them into music and people/places. They're at www.deadesq.com under the Concert Photo Gallery. I hope you like them, and I hope to see many more of you on Jamcruise 5! Oh, and if anyone knows of an opening for a photographer on Jamcruise 5, please let me know! I can probably rearrange my schedule.

For those of you on other music lists, I'd appreciate you forwarding the links to the pix of those musicians to your other lists. Thanks a lot.

Just wanted to point out the newly added picture to the photo gallery of Nershi the dog giving Billy some good ol Nershi love. I love this picture!

During the show Billy mentioned the dog and said "I'm not quite sure how I feel about having a dog named after me. I think I need to go out into the desert for like a week and think about this."
