After the damp squib of a start to the party it eventually got started and what a party it was........you should have been there....the whisky started to flow......it must have been the most debauched night down the cellar yet…
We forgot to mention that Reg visited Norm's place a little later and added some vocals. The video is a ride through the US state of Virginia. The Texas Tavern serves cheesy westerns (cheese, fried egg, burger, bun) in the downtown of Roanoke Va.
