Jammies II
Date: February 6, 2001
Location: Opus 1894, 58 Ionia SW
The story continues at a still-undersized venue (now McFadden's Restaurant & Saloon).
It should also be noted that this was prior to Ralston's debut release. For years he only appeared at the Jammies in order to deliver the invocation, otherwise known as "The Jammies Song". He has noted that there really isn't a 'Jammies Song' but was still asked repeatedly to sing it.
