Cotton Block Sundays

8/19/12
Bridgepoint Plaza
Rome, GA

Clayton Jones and Scott Warren put this together last weekend, just set up PA equipment and played, then got official city blessing and sponsorship.  Today they had a banner and everything.  I went to listen, they took a break, Clayton asked me to play a few.
