    Today, I enjoy a Spindrift sparkling water, and talk to you about one of my favorite music documentaries, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil." I tell you why it's one of my must-sees for any music fan, or artist, and why there are lessons still relevant today. Also, I talk about Ed Harcourt, Billy Strings, Linda Ronstadt, a couple upcoming festivals, and a Tasting Room featuring artist Mae Deline. Cheers!
