At 11:38 last night Jack Syperek became the proud papa of healthy and beautiful 8lb.1oz baby boy. Missus Sippy is doing great, everyone is healthy and happy. However, his new paternal duties will prevent Jack from being able to join us onstage for the Burlington Sound of Music Festival tomorrow night. Big Ben Richardson, of Grady fame, has offered to step up and fill these rather large bass playin' boots. It promises to be a fun and impromptu night of music.

Congratulations again to Jack and Sarah!! See the rest of you tomorrow night.
