Chester Brown with Rumke Mountain Boys Jammin' on Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar" Another one hot off the press. I can't wait for June to roll around again. This one is a 9 minute jam of Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar" with a couple of the Rumke Mountain Boys at Brown Town 10 last year. It even includes a dancing T-Rex.

Stealin' the Farm's "Take the Time" at Brown Town 10

Still hanging solo at the house (day 9 – ground control to Major Tom?) has given me a lot of time to work on my video and graphics editing skills on some old video I had. Big kudos to everyone keeping the music alive around the area.

Here’s Stealin’ the Farm’s “Take the Time” June 7th, 2019.

Special thanks to Don…

With observation of the social distancing it gave us a little time to dive into the vault of video we’ve accumulated over time and started playing around with the video editors.
