From his bio: “Guitarist Joe Hodgson hails from the village of Ballymagorry in Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland. His music, shaped by his upbringing during The Troubles, mirrors the fierce rain and winds of the Emerald Isle. It is both sweeping and intense, boldly blending rock, blues, jazz, and Irish traditions into finely crafted instrumentals.”

Happy anniversary to the greatest protector of freedom and liberty in the world:“This We’ll Defend!” 

Lotta stuff to cover at porch time tomorrow. See you then and there.
