Show #297 was an especially fun show! Ryan and Wayne of Oak, Steel & Lightning from St. Louis dropped in to pick and grin for awhile. They spent the afternoon floatin’ on the Huzzah, so they were MORE than ready for a little acoustic jam with Nick Thomas! They brought their lovely ladies, Jenny and NIkki, along (some people just need more supervision than others…) and we all had a BLAST! Thank goodness that was in the studio during the show and not outside in the parking lot when Wayne produced a ‘fireball’ for us (yes, we do have video). The guys are getting all fired up for Pickin’ on the Huzzah, which will be happening in Steelville, MO the weekend of September 9-10, 2016!
