I want to send a early morning thank you to Dave Bruzza of Greensky Bluegrass for making a 10amCDT phoner work out for all parties. The listeners were especially happy to hear it from the man, not just the music. We chatted about the newest album “Handguns”, the trickiness of what your eyes might see on stage versus what the band actually does with those instruments and why someone would want to make sure not to miss them in Madison on the 28th at the Majestic Theater.
