Thanks Nick for chiming in after I finish this and I was uploading the video I said to myself, man I should have mentioned more about your collaboration on this one because it’s clear in the upper right corner of the centerfold that it says artwork by Nick… I put two together. They took the photos and put them together…. I really appreciate you chiming in brother. Hope all is well, man…. I still need to check out the interview you did with Frank / Brian. 🫡
