Mike Bennett:
CD-R of the Month:
August,
2004

I hope no one finds the title tasteless. After the Genius passed away, a friend of mine told me that he was at a bar in Vegas last year, and Brother Ray showed up and played some songs on the piano. I asked him if it was a strip club, and that inspired the title. Anyway, please send a track list to me at Mike_Bennett@fufkin.com
