Man does it sound good to sing with sisters. The Chapin Sisters that is… Yes, they are gonna sing a few new songs with me at the PabLove Cancer benefit this Saturday. We just played them and man do we sound good together. I’m humbled by how good they are. And nice girls! Let the fun commence… New songs! New songs! New songs!
