Our two sons are visiting this weekend. We are going to see #StillShine at the library tomorrow, which lead to this exchange:

Me: Do you know how I archive my audio recordings?
Son: Please don't give me any .flac for not knowing.

Sing me sweet and sleepy, all the way back home"
-Hunter / Garcia
Here is my audio recording of yesterday's #StillShine show.
The band played 2 songs--Deal and Brokedown Palace--in memory of #BobWeir. Give them a listen and wipe the tear from your eye.
