DELIRIOUS LIGHTNING

The music at the Peach Festival was always unreal.  Every band brings their A game and you just expect magic.  The Claypool Lennon Delirium was on fire.  But it was a dark overcast day.  The clouds kept getting darker as the music progressed.  Off in the distance, you could see bolts of lightning flashing.  Maybe it was just the acid butContinue reading “DELIRIOUS LIGHTNING”
