Kenzie joins me on the podcast.  Today's song from Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits is one of my favorite.  Samantha Gillogly tears it up on fiddle.  Matthew Hughes adds some rocks out on acoustic guitar.  My friend Jimmy Rimmer aka Rimbo laid an awesome bass track last night that reminds me of a 70s rock band. Please contact other podcasts that my music might work on and tell them about me.  Send them an MP3. Notes: Renaissance Festival Podcast turns six years old.
