From George Caton

“Looking forward to playing at Railsplitter Gifts and Eatery tomorrow (Saturday, July 25) from 11am-1pm. There are several potential new tunes (Operator, Call Me the Breeze, Complicated, Call Me Lightning, and others) as well as the usual ones. Great food as usual.”

Rains going to clear and it’s going to be a beautiful music filled day at Railsplitter.
