This episode features live covers from Richmond rockers The Trongone Band. Four members from this five piece group joined the show and covered an Allman Brothers song, one from Bill Withers, and two songs from The Grateful Dead. Even though John, Andrew, Matt, and Johnny had no idea what they were getting into, this episode kicked of at top speed and maintained a great mix of quick witted conversational humor combined with solid live music. Mr. Radley Rockwell imposed himself to kick off the second hour and shared his new and most pretentious musical endeavor involving various deli-meats as percussion instruments. Hidden somewhere in this episode is a hot stock tip from John Trongone. Listen and love it!

Songs Covered by The Trongone Band:

New Minglewoood Blues-Grateful Dead
One Way Out- Allman Brothers
Mississippi Half Step-Grateful Dead
Use Me- Bill Withers

RVA Music in this episode featuring Apache Radio, Farm Vegas, Downbeat Switch, Big Enough, Marionette, and Cardinal Compass
