It will be 2020 in few days! How was your 2019? Our 2019 was… thousands of miles on the car, lots of great music, and tons of love from family, friends, and each other. We will travel for 6 weeks to Portland, LA, and Weatherford after Bob plays with Alex Nauman and Erik Olson in Billings on Jan 2nd then with Bob Nell in Bozeman on 3rd. Happy New Year!!!!
