It’s been almost three months to the day since my last scuba dive on the wreck of the Oriskany off the coast of Pensacola, Florida. Cobbled together my gear for a dip into Austin’s Lake Travis this past weekend. My rusty skills and the salt water damage done to my equipment was further burdened by…
Adam Franklin – Bolt of Melody
Caught ex-Swervedriver vocalist/guitarist Adam Franklin at 50-capacity rock club The Cavern on Greenville Ave. last Thursday.
