In Memory of Jake Hartsell
Jake Hartsell, age 33 - son, friend, golfer and musician - passed away in an inexplicable and tragic accident on September 26. The podcast will be on hiatus indefinitely.

Jake was beloved by his many friends he made in Scotland and through the music scene in north Alabama. If you wish to donate in Jake's memory, search for Jake Hartsell at gofundme.com
