SHARK SANDWICH!
2012 is virtually gone. The first year of Shark Sandwich! comes to an end. It was fun. I sincerely hope you have enjoyed reading about my crazy musical knowledge. I hope you’ve been turned on to new things. Thanks to Bandbook.com for asking and letting me do this. It’s a great site and you should swing on over and sign up promptly! But we have one more crazy night to get through. Bring in your New Year’s party correct with these jammin’ tunes. Carry on in 2013!
