Music Monday! You Know I Talk Too Much

Welcome to the new year! Although the title of this song by the Nashville based band Coin is pretty appropriate for me, it is not about me, but it is really catchy and hard to get out of your head once you’ve heard it. This song has been high on the alternative rock charts for most of the last six months. Enjoy!

Have a great Monday and a great start to the new year! ~Phil

I have a left hand, but I’m not left handed. An odd and unexplainable fact about me though is that I throw a frisbee left handed. I have no idea why.
