April Royal Mile Jam Tunes

We were very excited to return to the newly-reopened Royal Mile pub for the April Fool's Jam! We had a good turnout, and were moved to the back of the pub along the bench. We had a wonderful audience, and the owner asked us to stay until 8:00 PM. We couldn't oblige this time, but next month, prepare to stay longer!
