Sneaky Dragon Listening Party – Ep. 65
Description
Hello, partygoers!
Our apologies for a late show this week – a packed weekend and an under-the-weather daughter pushed our recording day forward and cut back on our editing time and the result…was lateness.
But we return with another mixtape – this one made for listener Trevor Lynn. So let’s vie for the overstuffed armchair, but take second best with the wicker rocking chair, and listen to a song from the desert, 80’s alt-rock, San Fran psych-pop, some smarty-pants rock, take a trip to Toytown, visit Ireland, and set the controls for the heart of the BONKERS!
