Notice: Function amp_is_available was called incorrectly. `amp_is_available()` (or `amp_is_request()`, formerly `is_amp_endpoint()`) was called too early and so it will not work properly. WordPress is currently doing the `init` hook. Calling this function before the `wp` action means it will not have access to `WP_Query` and the queried object to determine if it is an AMP response, thus neither the `amp_skip_post()` filter nor the AMP enabled toggle will be considered. It appears the plugin with slug `jetpack` is responsible; please contact the author. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Bob FM presents the NEW and IMPROVED Tex Zep at Saxon Pub on October 28th! The band had a bit of a shake up when Sefo left to go back to Spain, but our friend, Mark Miller stepped in on guitar and is also helping to manage the band.

Kostamos Yiacoumis is their award-winning drummer. Palli Palladino, a recording artist from NYC, is on bass. The band is rounded out by the great Mark Miller, of Strange Days and Bubble Puppy fame, on guitar.
