  • Pics from Binder Park Zoo

  • “Under Command” — a band my brother referred me to

    I just got off the phone with Eric, my brother. He works with a guy who plays in a band called “Under Command.” They are a Christian rock band out on the East Coast. I checked out their web site and listened to some of their audio clips. Fun stuff. Solid musicianship, though a little…
