Hello friends, its me, Uncle Larry just checkin in real quick. Just wanted to let you all know about a little gig i am doing tomorrow night if you happen to be bored in Nashville.

My dear old friend Rachel Loy is hosting a variety show at 3rd and Lindsley called “The Shit List” which features a cache of local artists, each getting up and doing a couple tunes with Rachel’s swanky house band….one of these artists being none other than your very own Starship Trooper, Little Tommy from NEO.

The thing starts at 8pm but ill be one of the later performers in the show…come have a beer with your old buddy. Tonight's tones courtesy of a ‘67 jetglo Rick 360-12 plugged straight into a black Pro Reverb.

Hey guys….if you’re looking for a SUPER COOL place to take your kids for an afternoon, you gotta take them to the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville. You’re not gonna see a bunch of old Chevelles and the ordinary old car stuff, this place is jam packed with rare and exotic vehicles from all over the world….its a nice quiet peaceful calming afternoon, kind of like a NAMM show right?
You might even see Uncle Larry and his two sweet boys there.
