On fire. But who's that girl filming, eh?

My photographs are above the kitchen door at DiPiazza's. They (re)matted it, so it no longer reads "Photos of Norton Wisdom & Banyan" by KaRi.

My video will be uploaded at a later time.

Yeah, these guys are bad ass! We've had the privilege of opening for both Banyan and Mike Watt's Secondmen, and having Willie Waldman jump up on stage with us on trumpet for a couple of songs. Truly legends.
