Pretty much every week I send out a gig email letting folks on my email list know where I'm playing and what I've been up to. I've been doing this for years and having a ton of fun with itexploring the inner mechanics of the English language with emphasis on the slang factor.
Click below to see what the news is for this week. If so inclined, venture further back in time to the Tales 'O SpragueMan.
If you are not receiving my weekly update and you want to, take a trip to The Loop, fill in your vitals, and magically I'll add you to the revolution. Yours will be a charmed, entertained, and informed life.
