Notes
Uncle Larry turns over some rocks on the shallow shores of the mysterious River of Life, and takes a few pictures with God’s camera that he found laying on a park bench…with the lens zoomed out as far as it can go.

Oh, and he tries out a pedal too…

i want to sincerely thank the dear boys at Universal Audio for sending over a nice coffee mug and comfy t shirt...much appreciated my friends.

if you are feeling like your life sucks, watch this about 3 times in a row, hug your kids and have a beer....call your boss and say "thank you for the opportunity to make a living"
