April Showers: The greatest month of live music Cville has ever seen?
Holy all-you-can-eat buffet, we knew April was a fat month for shows in this town but when you look at it on paper, the sheer volume of greatness rolls over you like a mind-and-body-debilitating bong rip.

Multiple shows, multiple days in a row. It will require temperance, fitness, diet, hydration, time management–all disciplines that Old Hank does not have. By the end of this month I will have quit drinking at least 8 times.
We’ll try to get as much of it in the blog as possible.
And again, how lucky are we?
Let’s roll.
