Tuba Skinny – Jubilee Stomp
We're walking down the street in the French Quarter looking for some blues and a kid walks up and says, "Mister, I bet you ten dollars I can tell you where you got them shoes." I knew there was a catch but I couldn't see it, so I bet him five dollars. "You got them shoes on your feet," he says. My wife's laugh was worth every penny. It's Friday night, go out and find some music and maybe have a good laugh.

Baby blues and Smeltzer.
Minor Details: Games of June 22
Josh Winder pitches well. So does Brent Headrick. Two-run homers decide things for the Kernels and the Mighty Mussels.
June 23, 2022: Ducks In A Row
You early risers can catch over half the solar system aligned in the eastern sky (with the moon stopping by to hang out). Better catch it, because the next chance is in 2040.

Kacey Musgraves – Happy and Sad
Melancholy. I think maybe that's the word she's looking for. We saw Kacey at the zoo a few years back. Her band wore classic western suits with little lights all over them. We're big fans.
2022 Game 70: Cleveland Guardians at Minnesota Twins
Triston McKenzie
vs
Sonny Gray
1/8 of the way through the battle for first and it could have started better. The plus side is Pagán is unlikely to pitch again tonight.
