Mad Ripple Hoot - March 26th, 2009

The Mad Ripple Hootenanny recorded March 26th, 2009 at The Beat Coffeehouse in Uptown Minneapolis.

With The Mad Ripple, Erin Kate, Roger Flyer, Michael Morris, George Scott McKelvey, Aliya Ultan, Max Dakota, Ben Connelly, Eliza Blue, Chris Apriori, Graham Early and more.

There's more background noise in this Hoot than possibly any to date. Might have something to do with their being a lot more kids on hand than usual, but somehow it all worked out and folks under the age of 14 were definitely the stars of this show, including a few very young ones under 3 feet tall.
