Been so darned busy with other tasks I haven't had time to get all the video done of the Velvet Thunder, Race to the Radio/Room in the Inn kickoff that occurred on December 9th after Project Homeless Connect. We had a great time, listened to some....interesting lyrics and heard some outstanding tunes during the two hour tribute. I'll be posting more of the vids this weekend over at Stone Soup Videos, but you can check out Earl Bud Lee below (wrote "Friends in Low Places" tune that Garth Brooks made hugely famous).
“And homeless near a thousand homes I stood, and near a thousand tables pined and wanted food” ~Wordsworth
