What's happening? Welcome to Wong Notes podcast. I'm your host, Corey Wong. I'm showing today. I just got off tour. I just did an incredible U.S. West Coast tour. Huge thanks to anybody who came out. It was an incredible tour. So many fun shows. So many highlights. Can't wait. I've been actually listening back to a bunch

0:21.9

of the shows, mixing some of them down and checking through the video. I recorded every one of them.

0:26.6

You're going to be putting some stuff out there. And extreme stokeage for anybody who's coming

0:32.2

to the East Coast tour in February March. We got Victor Wooten and Truesdale out with us.

0:39.2

It's going to be insane,

0:45.6

huge, 13-piece band. It's going to be wild. It's going to be great. So I hope to see you there.

0:53.4

And we just announced same band. My full band is going to Europe in October. So check it out.

0:54.6

Check out the tour days.

1:16.2

it's just kind of hard to let people know what's happening. Some of my favorite bands have been
