Nick Govrik
“One More Time For The Man”

I ain’t gonna lie , we are so damn proud of this thing…truly a labor of love.
The boy can write a song and that’s no joke

…and in other news , we got a quick little clip from todays country and western session AND a failed bench experiment that gets saved by the glory of some ancient Alnico…can I borrow your stapler?
