Well well well if it is me in the land of blue skies after a full ass year
Almost two months out, I'm amazed that "ox" the live improvisational debut of Concrete Cedars (aka @bradleymckellip.bsky.social , Til Willis, and @chancedibben.bsky.social) is still finding people. concretecedars.bandcamp.com/album/ox
