Friday night I went down to Phillip-A-Looza at the Old Rock House to party with some of my friends and help raise some money for ALS. I had the opportunity to sit with Tim & Ron of Funky Butt Brass Band for a bit during the show. This episode was recorded live outside of Phillip-A-Looza in Tim's van. If you listen closely you can hear Alligator Wine & friends getting down in the background.
