Noochie’s Live From The Front Porch Presents: Backyard Band (Big G & Weensey)

The very first guest on Noochie’s Live From the Front Porch Presents is none other than Big G & Weensey of Backyard Band.
In my eyes one of the if not the greatest GO-GO band to ever exist.
This one is special dedicated to my Pops Oneway Boobe and the late great Chucky Thompson.
