As Lou and Adelle gather themselves and adjust the The Shift, why not listen to an olden show of yore! Lou was in a Hollywood Movie many years ago (Laurel Canyon starring Francis McDormand, look it up! ) and told the very unglamorous stinky story. He also sings the movie's pivotal tune: Shade and Honey by Sparklehorse.

This week Lou shares a 30+ y.o.song from a fan known only as 'Terry C from Connecticut'. He and Adelle catch up on birthday shout-outs then he launches into an unrehearsed new song from a mysterious new project. The Barlow Family General Store will be open for one weekend again this month! 11am-4pm March 28+29.
