co bill segmented version of cool pappa bell starring dr rob p... i love this place, great sound rybolt always hooks it up.. spirits lurking from some of the juke joint heros. surprisingly didnt get too hammered did slide in a few little jagers however.. i think i remembered my last visit when dr rob was blowing fireballs and i felt like shit for 3 days, so i reserved it a bit this time. actually i did get a bit hammered i forgot the part about sneaking into the kitchen and making the infamous turkey sandwich.. oh yeah in jackson eat at kiefers good hummus and pitchers of cold beers
