If you get to Missoula don't miss Rockin' Rudy's music shop. One of the coolest music shops you will ever run across! Bozeman has some cool bars as well worth checkin' out, I went to college there.

Thanks for this tip off. I haven't listened to this show in years. How could I have been so foolish. What a jam and ripper of an ending!!
