Shenanigans & festive times had by all. Join me on an 8 hour musical excursion where I'll play every song I know, probably twice. There will be sing-alongs, dancing, nudity, debauchery, arrests, laughing, juggling, fire eating, toasts (both inappropriate & appropriate), special guests, bagpipes, American people talking in really shi- -y Irish accents that will probably sound more Scottish & a whole lot more! statements can't be guaranteed, verified or believed.
Pre-cursor to the next day's events.
