A guitarist takes a solo under a dramatic evening sky.
Someone said, "Just climb up on stage with the band." I was afraid that I might mess up, trip on a cable, unplug an amp, and ruin the show.
I didn't ruin the show.

You can tell that these two just love playing together. Their chemistry is what makes Free Ransom such a fun local band. I count myself lucky to call them my friends.

This one hurts. My photo of #SalMaida is featured here. Sal was really cool to me. I only met him once, but that was enough. We have a lot of mutual friends and, to them, I express how much I feel for you all.
