We have two return performers with some great music. Alex Papp delivers us a Doors/Papp medley and Divining Rod gives us some songs from the heart, all while having a few drinks to celebrate the end of our first run.

Episode #26- Owl & Wolf, Pete and the Yawptones
We enter our new quarter century with a new act to Acoustic Sunset, Owl & Wolf. They have some great music and an extended interview. We follow that up with friend of the show Peter Fabrizio, who plays with his band, the Yawptones (actually just drums this time). Carl can't stop to chat in this episode, but the tunes sound nice and the streetside is fine.
