Naturally things don’t always go according to plan. In our case we never really have a plan. We set up the camera and kept it rolling. Not everything makes the grade. Here are some of the least embarrassing cuts.
We Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere
Just like a Saturday afternoon in the Rosebud Memorial Hall, Alan unrehearsed and unprofessional, and Karen calmly keeping him in check. In this month’s episode Karen and Alan chat about Spukes news, some useful websites and what’s going on with our musical friends around the Peninsula. Plus three new songs to play along with.
