Get down at seven

Last week was kinda jazzy
Last week was kind hep
Tonight, we're getting funky
Tonight, we're gonna step



7:00
1. Tony Borders - High On The Hog (2:08)

So, Friday night, my usual slot, I laid down for what was supposed to be a 40 minute nap. (I set an alarm and everything.) I woke up an hour and a half after I was supposed to start playing. Jessie filled if for me, which I appreciate. She plays after me some nights. Wise usually plays two slots on Saturday, so he said I could have his later one. I took it.
