With their highly imaginative brand of country influenced rock, and under various names, Munly J. Munly and Slim Cessna, and their colleagues, present songs reflecting a deep understanding of the human heart, of conflict, and the value of storytelling, using a theatrical and literary format and absurdist style. Their latest album, Kinnery Of Lupercalia; Buell Legion is branded under the project name Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, as the second part of a trilogy beginning with 2022’s Kinnery Of Lupercalia; Undelivered Legion, branded as Munly & The Lupercalians.

Punkrockbeat: Okay, good morning. We’re here with Munly J. Munly and Slim Cessna, the two vocalists, I imagine, of a band called Slim Cessna’s Auto Club —  and other entities too, but we’re focusing on Slim Cessna. Good morning, guys.

Slim Cessna: Good morning.

Munly J. Munly: Morning.                      

Punkrockbeat: First of all, the album is the second in a trilogy. It’s called Kinnery Of Lupercalia; Buell Legion and it’s highly imaginative. I want to say congratulations. I don’t often come across one like this that hits so many points about the human condition in such a unique way and it’s just beautiful. It is amazing to me! Thank you guys for joining me. Okay, I’ll get to the questions. So like when I first heard Buell Legion, the first song is optimistic, talking about faith and stuff. But uh, I didn’t really get whether it was critical of religion or just kind of satire and then I saw your video you’re actually doing gospel songs, Slim, on a Facebook stream.

Slim Cessna: Oh, yeah.

Punkrockbeat: So it’s sincere.

Slim Cessna: For my part, it’s always sincere. Yeah.

Punkrockbeat: Okay. Slim, you have the high voice? You do like the yodeling stuff. Munly, are you the more Goth voice?

Munly J. Munly: I don’t know if I would call it goth – my voice is maybe a bit deeper than Slim’s sometimes.

Punkrockbeat: New Wave? So you guys bring different elements. How long have you two been working together under various projects together?

Slim Cessna: 30 years or so I suppose, 30 years now.

Punkrockbeat:  That’s amazing. Okay. I want to get into the content, you guys. Who writes the lyrics mostly?

Slim Cessna: Munly does.

Punkrockbeat: Okay. I see it’s based on writings. You’re a fiction writer?

Munly J. Munly: I am, yeah,

Punkrockbeat: Okay. So there’s so much imagery, symbolism and it just hits you, about the human condition, details. Who’s your favorite, if you could do a bunch of your literary influences, because it obviously goes deep into poetry and stuff, right?

Munly J. Munly: Well, you know, you introduced us but you never introduced yourself. I’m sorry. I don’t even know who I’m talking to.

Punkrockbeat: Oh, I’m sorry. I’m Keith Walsh. I have Popularculturebeat.com, where I reviewed the recent album.

Munly J. Munly: Hi Keith.

Slim Cessna: Hi, Keith.

Punkrockbeat: Dan Volohov helped us, and said you liked the review.

Slim Cessna: Yeah. Yeah.

Punkrockbeat: Dan has introduced me to so many bands that pushed me away from bland music, you know, so much –and I guess this leads to this question for both of you, because you shape the sound and stuff — some artists just cannot do things the same way. Like they can’t do things in a predictable way that’s bland or boring, and I feel that with you guys for sure. Do you care to comment?

Slim Cessna: That’s very flattering actually.

Munly J. Munly: It is flattering. I don’t know if we tried to do bland…I try to just keep it interesting and I think no matter what we do, it just comes out as us, which at this point in time is not mainstream, which also might be equated to bland or boring. There might be a time when we do influence mainstream, and you might come back to us in five years and call us bland and boring. Why aren’t we doing something new?

Punkrockbeat: Okay, the instrumentation — I hear a European influence, especially on the new album, like some of the melodies and stuff, folk songs, like the song “Easter.” You guys are in Colorado. So is there some cultural legacy coming from the past musically? Tough question.

Slim Cessna:  I don’t know the answer to that. I don’t even think there’s anyone in Colorado that plays music like us so it’s hard to say.

Punkrockbeat: Who’s you’re favorite? You like John Denver or who’s the other one? (I was trying to remember The Lumineers, also from Colorado).

Slim Cessna: Well, I love John Denver personally.

Munly J. Munly: I would say, we’re certainly rooted in folk music, more storytelling. But that doesn’t mean it has to be from the states or anywhere in North America. If it’s good and interesting that’s what music has always done, to always told stories. So excellent perhaps you hear Eastern European influences, and you know, we certainly listen to stories from that region, as well about every region honestly from Africa to South America, Australia.

Punkrockbeat: Yeah. Yeah. The human condition is reflected there, and I don’t know maybe we don’t want to get too deep into that. But you approach the first one, the Undelivered Legion seems concerned with Old Testament themes. The tribes, and wandering the desert which to me is is like an allegory for personal individual transformation as well. Maybe you’re not comfortable getting to lyrics as I know when people write lyrics they can be very personal and if you don’t want to dig into it, that’s okay.

Munly J. Munly: Oh, no, I’m sorry. I hope you don’t feel like I’m avoiding any answers. My preference how I discovered music and loved music is finding it on my own and delving into it on my own and sort of sussing out and parsing out answers and what it means to me.

So with that I’m not going to give you the meanings on a spoon but I do encourage people to look into them and read further the stories and suss out what it means and what it means to them, and how it can make them a better person, and the world a better place, you know, can we improve on what’s going on in this not so great time?

Punkrockbeat: Exactly. You know, in a world where there’s hardship, and in a world where things are often less than ideal or happy, this music presents a world where other people are having struggles too but they’re still striving, you know, and that’s what I got out of it, as a listener and I value that.

Slim Cessna: I think your interpretation is a listener is beautiful. I love hearing what you’re getting from it.

Punkrockbeat: Well because also people are so like closed off. I mean mainstream religion has a bad rap, but there’s a lot of truth in there, and if you present it in a different way they might — they might be more willing to hear something in there, you know and not reject it. And to me that I think it’s a great mission, you know, for you guys. But the new album, Buell Legion, I think that’s more like a New Testament album, because it has ‘Easter’ in there, right, the first song is celebratory. And obviously the tone even musically is more upbeat and uplifting. So, okay, so I’ll leave it open, I’ll leave a space if you have something to say.

Munly J. Munly: The Buell Legion, you know, we’re really asking people to be patient with us, and it’s may be asking too much in contemporary music, too. Doing what we’re doing trying to put out three albums over however many years that’s going to take, you know, the first region is spoken through the undelivered folks and they’re supposed to be individuals. Ironically individuals, it’s probably the largest group around. Buell Legion, I thought was was wonderful and I think the Auto Club is the best group to represent that.

Punkrockbeat: Oh, that’s why you changed the name of the project. It was Munly And The Lupercalians on the first one. And you said be patient. Sorry, I always jump in really enthusiastically. I was gangbusters and I pulled it back.

Munly J. Munly: I’m sorry. I wasn’t telling you at this moment to be patient, I’m asking in a world that’s so quick, and there’s Instagram and Facebook and everything is so quick and short lived. We’re asking people to give us a few years of their lives to understand what the whole of Lupercalia is. You know, there’s one more album to go and that will give the last version from DBUK who are representing the Toombs Legion.

“Sometimes I worry that it’s coming off to too negative – or I am. The world is not, doesn’t have to be so bad…Part of my job is to give people an escape for a little bit and with them break out of what might be negative. If they want to delve deeper and see if there’s any parallels, can they learn anything. Can they be a better person today than they were yesterday? If they can get that from us, great.
Munly J. Munly of Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, Munly & The Lupercalians and DBUK.

Punkrockbeat: Is this going to be on a high note or more of a philosophical note?

Munly J. Munly: Well, it’s represented by DBUK who is a quieter band that Slim and I are in.

Punkrockbeat:  Okay, you’re changing the band and it’s going to change the sound I guess huh?

Slim Cessna: Yeah, it’s very different from the other three albums.

Punkrockbeat: How’s it going to be different then?

Slim Cessna: It’s hard to completely explain because we all share the same members. DBUK is another band that Munly and I are in and Rebecca and Dwight who are also in the Auto Club, but I would call it more of an experimental folk music, or we don’t really have rules to make it that, I’m just trying to make it easy to think about.

Punkrockbeat: Yeah, experimental comes off right away.

Slim Cessna: And so DBUK is is quieter and softer and but it’s one of the most beautiful things that I’ve ever been part of.

Punkrockbeat: That’ll be lovely like to have a transition to something gentle or whatever. Um, so uh, what’s the what’s the tribe on the on the third album like represented? You have Undelivered, Buell and now…

Munly J. Munly: They’re called the Toombs Legion. There’s a lot of history. There’s a couple books I’ve written. They can explain it further for both people who might be interested in it.

Punkrockbeat: Where can you get those books?

Munly J. Munly:  Come to the show I guess.

Punkrockbeat:  Okay. Yeah, you’re in LA in October. I hope to go, The Lodge. How was the European tour?

Slim Cessna:  It’s good.

Punkrockbeat: Exhausting?

Slim Cessna: Yeah, yeah as we get older it becomes more and more exhausting or at least for my part. But it was lovely. We had good shows, wonderful shows.

Punkrockbeat: What kind of feedback are you getting. The European crowds are enthusiastic for the content and …

Slim Cessna: Sometimes it feels more enthusiastic, in all ways, in Europe more so than the US.

Punkrockbeat: Is there a problem with people’s spirit in the U.S. a little bit?

Slim Cessna:  I mean it’s hard to tell because you know, we’re from here also, and so maybe I’m just as guilty.

Punkrockbeat: You’re in Colorado.

Slim Cessna:  I don’t know what it is about it. Maybe there’s more of they see us what it could be as simple as just the visual of it and that is exciting. It’s different.

Punkrockbeat: I have I’ve seen some photos — what’s different visually? I’ve seen some photos, they’re kind of dark photos, the ones I saw.

Slim Cessna: It might just be that people aren’t used to seeing people like us walk into Prague and put on a rock show.

Punkrockbeat: The cowboy outfits and stuff.

Slim Cessna: Yeah. Yeah. I don’t know. I don’t even know what I’m saying, but it was just different. I think that they just like it because we’re different and I think that they’re more prone to getting a kick out of that I suppose. In the state’s. There’s kind of a specific, ‘this is what country music is supposed to sound like, or ‘this is what rock music is.’ There’s all these genres, but we don’t really pay attention to those things. We just do what we do and somehow that seems to work better there than it does here.

Punkrockbeat: Yeah, but you guys have a pretty good following on Bandcamp. I noticed lots of people buying albums.

Slim Cessna: Yeah, yeah. I’m not saying that we don’t have people here and I don’t certainly don’t want to knock any of that. We play shows here as well and people come and enjoy it.

Punkrockbeat: Okay. Speaking about genres, can you guys appreciate something beautiful that’s maybe a little bit almost anodyne like a Lauren Daigle, had that song ‘You Say,’ which it just hits you? You know, maybe it’s too sweet. Christian music I’m talking about, you know, or Switchfoot, something pushing boundaries. Any comments on anything, any of the Christian rock bands?

Slim Cessna: Oh, I don’t know. I don’t know anything about Christian rock. I’m sorry. I did in the 70s.

Punkrockbeat: Larry Norman, right? Yeah.

Slim Cessna: Oh yeah, Larry Norman.

Punkrockbeat: He was huge!

Slim Cessna: Oh my gosh, I would listen to him right now. That’s like fun stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know what Christian rock is right now and I don’t think that we would consider ourselves that.

Punkrockbeat: But I was surprised to see your Facebook stream. You were doing some gospel stuff.

Slim Cessna: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I love gospel music and I am a Christian, but that doesn’t mean I’m in a Christian rock band.

Punkrockbeat: Well, if it’s done beautifully, if it’s done with imagination it can be very uplifting and calming.

Slim Cessna: Yeah.

Punkrockbeat: So, a little lyrical content. Lupercalia, that’s really something new to me. I found out it’s a Roman Festival, and it’s a festival of purity and virtue and there’s all kinds of references and stuff.. So what was your exposure to Rome like maybe in history class or how did you find this concept or arrive at it?

Munly J. Munly:  Certainly I have always been fascinated with history and certainly that time in history. Yeah, so I also would like to just equate that to us. How does that work with us? They’re certainly people who feel we are the greatest experiment ever, which is now coming into question, you know, we’ll see how that plays out in a century.

Punkrockbeat: Yeah, that’s what I got too there’s parallels. Here’s this great Empire but there’s so much that’s not right about it and so many problems, the contradictions. A life troubled by politics I think it is and I hate….

Munly J. Munly: Yeah, I just want to clarify. Sometimes I worry that it’s coming off to too negative – or I am. The world is not, doesn’t have to be so bad, and that’s part of our job, but I don’t want to put words in people’s mouths. But I feel that’s part of our job. Part of my job is to give people an escape for a little bit and with them break out of what might be negative. If they want to delve deeper and see if there’s any parallels, can they learn anything. Can they be a better person today than they were yesterday? If they can get that from us, great.

Punkrockbeat: You’re doing that. I finally looked at lyrics, Dan sent them to me. I kind of hope you’ll put them on Bandcamp. So people can easily get the lyrics.

Munly J. Munly: Well, we do a lot of special merch. A lot of it’s handmade, not handmade, but short press. Some of it’s handmade. So a lot of it’s at shows, we have lyric books. We have books. We have other stories, you know, even patches hats. All that stuff is…

(A cat walks across the table next to Munly and lays down.)

Munly J. Munly: One of our kids. I’m sorry. He distracted me. I forgot where I was. But anyways, yeah, if people come to shows you can you can always find different special stuff.

Punkrockbeat: Excellent. Yeah, since we have your instruments there behind you, there’s not many synths on the album. On the song “Ichnabod”, which I want to applaud you for playing with words by making up a word out Ichabod, I guess. Maybe it is a name. No, but I hear wood blocks, but I thought those are synth wood blocks or are they real wood blocks?

Munly J. Munly:  Those are real wood blocks, Andrew plays live even, I think. Slim plays them as well on another song.

Slim Cessna: Yeah, those are wood blocks.

Punkrockbeat: Speaking of Andrew Warner — in a little PR piece. I saw he says he’s involved in organizing the music, and how so?

Slim Cessna: I think we all are, I don’t think that would be specific to Andrew. Munley sets the foundation, you know, the chords and the words and the structure of it, but then we all have our parts of how that all comes together. It is like a collage, I suppose where everybody makes their own parts to go with this. I’m not sure. I’m not sure what was meant by that but I think that that that would be all of us who participate in that.

Punkrockbeat: (Munly) said this album is the best or maybe Dwight Pentecost said, the most example of your live and studio work kind of combined. Was that because the pandemic changed your workflow? What happened?

Munly J. Munly: To me, I think it’s because we were in complete control now. We’ve recorded albums with other producers, and we’ve done I think a few albums on our own but now I think we really understand how to work that technical side, you know.

Punkrockbeat: In Pro Tools?

Munly J. Munly: Actually we we’re Apple people. So we work in Logic, and I feel like we have a finally decent grasp on that.

Punkrockbeat: That’s excellent.

Munly J. Munly: Because we’re in control of everything now we’re able to sort of dictate.

Punkrockbeat: Okay. When you’re conceiving a melody and lyrics does it automatically come to mind which instrument is going to be the main foundation? Mostly it’s a stringed instrument like a guitar, something being strummed I hear a lot of the time. What’s your preferred instrument both you guys?

Slim Cessna: For me, I just I just sing on this album, but I try to layer a lot of vocals and I tried to do a lot of different and interesting things just with my voice.

Punkrockbeat: It is good, your voice is great.

Slim Cessna: Aw, thanks man. Yeah, just trying to create harmonies, and I’m more proud of this album than anything else that we’ve made I think.

Punkrockbeat: You should be.

Slim Cessna: There’s a lot of freedom there. I had a lot of freedom. We’re sitting around in the pandemic, just at my house. Just trying to make something, you know, lovely. For my my part of it, you know.

Punkrockbeat: Yeah, Munly, are there any unusual instruments like dulcimers or banjos on there?

Munly J. Munly: Yeah, I think I played dulcimer on a couple songs. Definitely on ‘Easter.’I remember I wrote that a long time ago and I just never really found a place for it, and then I came back to it and I knew what we could do with it. So there’s that.  I think autoharp as well. So

Punkrockbeat: ‘Easter’ ties it up. I mean, you know. The celebration. I see a couple bass guitars in the back, and that huge –what is that huge acoustic behind you?

Munly J. Munly: Rebecca who’s also in the band, she’s my roommate. This is actually a pedal steel.

(The cat returns).

Munly J. Munly: This is Hugo Dennis, over here. We can’t really play him.

Punkrockbeat: You could do some cat videos. Behind you, is that guitar as big as it looks, Munly? Or is it just the perspective?

Munly J. Munly: I’m not sure what you’re looking at,

Punkrockbeat: Is that a big acoustic, or? Is that on the album? That’s a pretty good size.

Munly J. Munly: No, this is a Schecter guitar who, we’re friends with them.

Punkrockbeat:  Their Strat is doing really well. It’s getting Nick Johnson or something like that like that.

Munly J. Munly: I don’t know that name, but I’m sure he wouldn’t know my name either.

Live in Belgium Photo by Hans Schoo

Punkrockbeat: I don’t think I got the name right, there’s a signature Strat of somebody. So let me see. Tell me about the other members of the band.

Munly J. Munly: You know, there’s my roommate. She plays a pedal steel, and keyboards, and computers, cello.

Punkrockbeat: Rebecca, you said?

Munly J. Munly: Rebecca.

Punkrockbeat: And you have a new bass player who just joined?

Slim Cessna:  My son George plays bass with us.

Punkrockbeat:  He took the last name Cessna. (I thought ‘Cessna’ was a pseudonym).

Slim Cessna:  Yeah. Well, it’s see it because that’s our last name. So yeah, he’s my son and he’s not necessarily new anymore. But this is the first album he’s been with us on, and same for Andrew, but they’ve both been with us for several years. But yeah, Andrew, George  Dwight….and Munly and I have been doing this together for 30 years or maybe even more.

Punkrockbeat: I’ll have to go back and listen, you know, I can’t comment too much on it. But could you care to comment about how it’s evolved over the years?

Slim Cessna: How the band has evolved?

Punkrockbeat: The sound, the concept…

Slim Cessna: I don’t think we notice too much how it evolves, except when if you go to look back, or if I we were to play an old record you would see that it certainly has grown into something different. And I think every album is different, and hopefully the next one will be the same. As growing as artists, musicians, I would like to hope that we’re not going to be just stuck on one formula for the rest of our lives.

Punkrockbeat: I mean, between the two albums in the trilogy, I can already see…you want to break the pattern everytime, which is cool.

Munly J. Munly: I think we enjoy that. When I was describing DBUK, and I said ‘experimental folk,’ it sounds kind of silly, but I think that that’s what we do with all of our music, with Lupercalians, or with the Auto Club, at we do experiment and we try to recreate new sounds and new ways of presenting ourselves. Musically. I think that that’s important and we get a kick out of it.

Punkrockbeat:  Gothic folk, you’re called ‘Gothic folk,’ and when I saw that that tag, I was like, ‘okay, I’m expecting something dark.’ So it biased me to think to look for the darkness. So until I saw…even then I felt the Christianity was ironic or satirical. It’s more like a commentary, just as I think the way Munly,  I’m just guessing but he is more of an observer. It’s not coming from like deep — you’re not preaching or anything,

Munly J. Munly: We don’t put the tags on whatever your whatever you said. We don’t we’re not in charge of that, whatever you said.

Punkrockbeat: I think it said ‘Gothic folk.’

Munly J. Munly: Gothic Funk. Perfect.

Punkrockbeat: Not ‘Gothic funk,’ ‘Gothic punk.’ I said folk.

Munly J. Munly: Gothic funk, okay.

(Laughter)

Punkrockbeat: No, I didn’t say ‘funk!’

(Slim chuckling in the background.)

Munly J. Munly: I heard you say ‘Gothic Funk.’

Punkrockbeat: That was an aberration of the audio apparatus.

Munly J. Munly: But we don’t do that. I would agree with that, yeah, I am more just an observer writing…that’s something great about this band, is that there are people who have different views. and we can all still come together and work on it, and try and create something not only for us, but to hopefully make everyone better than they were yesterday.

Punkrockbeat: Yeah, a band is like a recipe, add ingredients and they mix together, you know, influence each other. Okay, something that struck, the name Gothic Folk, sent me in the wrong direction. And then the song ‘Boucher,’ is about somebody being kind of hurt by a misunderstanding over the pronunciation of their name. And to me, that struck me as a good lesson like, you know, it matters to be understood, and matters to be called the right name, you know. I like that that it expands on something that might seem trivial to somebody. Any comment?

Munly J. Munly: I mean, that’s great that you can suss out your own, you know, meaning for that and it does that only need to be applied to a name though?

Punkrockbeat: Labels?

Munly J. Munly: I would hope people could look further and say, ‘oh that maybe there’s a deeper lesson here.’

(Punkrockbeat: Listening again I realized that the narrative suggests the power of imagination allowing someone to escape mentally, while confined temporarily by circumstances).

Punkrockbeat: I wasn’t saying it, but yeah. Seeing the person instead of just, you know, a name. ‘Boucher,’ and then what does it go into, the second song — ‘Cesaré,’ about toil, and tearing the bricks down from a wall. Which was the one that had the Disney-esqe vocals, they’ve struck me as like a Disney Animation, the sound it’s the one with the ongoing narrative. The way this song came about, were you influenced by Disney Animation at all in any of you any of your things? I could only imagine how you guys get worked up in the studio when you’re you know, you’re portraying these characters.

Munly J. Munly: You know, it’s as far as influence I go back to just everything is an influence, you know, if I’ve seen it or been exposed to it, it’s an influence.

Punkrockbeat: In your file cabinet of memories.

Munly J. Munly: If I were being more honest, the better way, or if you were, if someone were to actually ask, ‘did you steal this?’

Punkrockbeat: I don’t think you stole it.

Slim Cessna: No.

Munly J. Munly: No. I enjoy some of that dramatic music. I’m not a huge fan of musicals, but every now and then, I will realize that there is a musical stuck in my head, maybe it’s I enjoy it more than I admit I do. I just I think the musical is just an odd art form, but in an odd way are we not doing that?

Punkrockbeat:  I think you are —  you have characters, every song seems to be a character. And that’s really fun as a writer, to get inside their head for a moment, write this theme, and then you have another one to do, another character. Slim?

Slim Cessna: Yeah, I can relate it to that. I feel like I have to think about it in that way sometimes especially with you as you’re saying with the different characters as the primary singer on most of these songs. I like to…

Punkrockbeat: Ham it up?

Slim Cessna: I have to take on some of that in it to a certain extent, I suppose, or at least think about it. As far as musicals go, I think my favorite one would be Popeye.

Punkrockbeat: Robin Williams, Robert Altman.

Slim Cessna: Yeah. Gosh, you should go revisit that when if you want a good musical.

Punkrockbeat: R.I.P. Shelley Duvall.

Munly J. Munly: Yeah, but that is not a traditional musical on the Disney sense. That was Harry Nilsson.

Punkrockbeat: Okay, singer/songwriter.

Slim Cessna: But it is kind of Disney like in a weird sort of twisted way.

Munly J. Munly: Oh, it is.

Punkrockbeat: Exaggerated. I haven’t seen that in a while.

Munly J.Munly: Perhaps he achieved what we’re unconsciously going for.

Punkrockbeat: I’m going to wrap it up for you guys, because I only have two minutes left and it’s going to stop cold. You guys have been so generous with you time.  This is just a beginning for you guys, because you have so many new stories to tell, I know. Munly, how many books do you have out there, like finished?

Munly J. Munly: Four?  

Punkrockbeat: Four. When did you start writing fiction?

Munly J. Munly:  Always.

Punkrockbeat: As a kid, as an English literature student?

Munly J. Munly: Right.

Punkrockbeat: Same here, same here. It was the only class that I just did, and I loved it. Easily. Cool, okay.

How about you, Munly? (I meant Slim) Growing up, like, what was your kind of aspiration musically? Artistically?

Munly J. Munly: Me?

Punkrockbeat: I’m sorry, I meant to say ‘Slim.’

Slim Cessna:  Oh gosh, what’s my aspiration? This is all I’ve ever really wanted to do like even when I was a kid, so I I don’t know I would I would sing along to every record and that I’ve had since I was since I was a child, and I don’t I don’t have any other ambitions. Okay, and I and I never have so…

Punkrockbeat: I don’t want to get caught up in a raw moment. It’s only giving me one minute, it’s not even giving me seconds, so I don’t want to be abrupt. Thank you, guys.

Slim Cessna: Thanks, Keith.

Punkrockbeat:  I value your time. Thanks for sharing the music. I’m going to try and see you in October in L.A. I’ll bring my camera, if they let me. I’ll feature the show if I can.

Slim Cessna: Fantastic.

Punkrockbeat: Have a great tour, okay?

Munly J. Munly: Thank you Keith.

Punkrockbeat: It was a pleasure to meet you, too. Thank you guys.

Slim Cessna: Bye, Keith.

Munly J. Munly: See ya, Slim.

Slim Cessna: Bye, Munly.
