    I feel like I’ve seen 5,000 advertisements for the Primitive Quartet’s final concert. This is the first time I’ve seen the location given. LOL

      I’ve seen some of those ads as well. It rather baffling how that could get by the proofreading stage and go out like that.

    Is that last album Talley, Thompson, and West? If so, that should be a good one.

      Almost. It’s Amber Saunders (11th Hour) rather than Amber Thompson. They’ll have a single out soon.

    Saunders is a really good one, too! That’ll be a must-listen for me.
