This was the second time Ben and I shared a night behind the decks. The first time we had realized we both had an affinity for old New Orleans R&B and things of that nature, so this time we were both prepared to stretch out in that area, and it was a great night. Also, since it was April Fool’s Day, I played a bunch of songs with “fool” in the title. Check it out below!
