Thank you so much for posting that. Great performance.

Thanks, y'all! Pete, we've been doing it for about a year now, but this is the first show we got some video of. Lee, that's right! Hunter Burgamy from Secret Six Jazz band actually did the gig with us last night!

Notice Ethan doesn't use a volume pedal, like Barney Isaacs. Using a volume pedal and standing invites back problems.
Better to use the volume control on the guitar, if needed.
