The Sons of the Pioneers are playing at the Freight in Berkeley this Friday, so I think, not gonna go, but, cool outfits, who are these people? It turns out: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sons_of_the_Pioneers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sons_of_the_Pioneers) neat.

Anyway of course I come to their big hit, Tumbling Tumbleweeds ( [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV81D9YMXYo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV81D9YMXYo)), from the Big Lebowski but this time I looked it up and while I can't sing and play guitar at the same time, I can sign and play this one at the same time.

Pretty fun!
