Every now and then, QCJB falls head over heels for a "new" artist. We listen to their CDs over and over. We curse the tunes as they become ear worms for weeks on end. Then we give in, an try to actually learn the songs, with John giving the final stamp of approval on our chord arrangements.  Casey MacGill is our latest love. He is by no means a new artist, but he's new to us. Natasha first ran across him at the Pink Door in Seattle, WA in 2012. Words cannot do this guy and his band justice. Just listen . And here's one that we are really enamored with: Me and the Moon .
