"Hair of the Dog" I love that .......... LOL
Hair of the Dog was out here either last year or the year before at our Cajun Festival. A very good band. Of course, I was used to Cajun Festivals in Louisiana and East Texas, so what these people call a Cajun Festival was, well, I better be nice....
Great thing, just the words 'Low Country Boil' sells it! Great the success you've had!
