Blues, Bits, and Bosses – Gig Gab 242

Who’s your boss? Are you the boss? These questions are important to ask when discussing matters related to employment.

That’s not all, though: first your two favorite weekend warriors discuss the blues, what it means, and how to begin learning to play it. Entertaining a crowd makes another appearance – as it should! After all, we need to Always Be Performing! Finally, Neil Young has put his technological foot in his rambling mouth again, and the guys have something to say about that!
