Congratulations Couch Kids!

While I hang on the Gulf Shore of Alabama, I want to send congratulations to my COUCH KIDS who were honored with nominations in the 2013 Blues last Music Awards!

Of course, their being on The Couch had nothing to do with their nominations, but I can be proud to have had the opportunity to sit and talk with these wonderful human beings

And to all the other nominees congratulations and good luck!

Their latest appearances on The Couch are linked if you would like to go and listen to our interview.
