This Tuesday (June 14) I will be pinch hitting for Spaz with another (can you believe it, the 15th time!) Lazy Ass DRH. I knew the day would come when Spaz (who has a real life) would want a backup, so I've been putting this together for a little while. Roughly speaking, it progresses from mellow to rocking, but it's a winding road.
