I did it again, at the beginning of the earlier version I posted of this show, I forgot to cut off ten minutes of the Gospel Train, in all it's glory admittedly. I fixed it.

In case you're wondering, the GunBellows show was on Dec 4th at 2 AM, this show was the same day, but hours later at our regular 9:30 PM time. Long day.
