Another drummed out a beat on a nearby glass partition. ”These were strangers. We still...

Randall McFadden, my life on the road with Wakey!Wakey!. A short video diary kept on the “Dance So Good” tour of November 2010 with Jenny Owen Youngs. *Note* In addition to being a sometimes tour manager, Randy is an all-the-time actor, and he actually had a good time on this tour, unlike what this video seems to say. ;) Check out his commercial reel.
