Hello.
We are called Brave Combo. One time, after playing a club in Springfield, Missouri, we decided to drive out of town a little and find a motel on the road to Kansas City (our destination for the next night’s gig). After driving north west on state Highway 13 for about an hour, we saw a sign that said “Humansville — Next Exit.” So we took the exit and drove around town awhile. It was 3:00 AM and aside from our van, nothing was moving. It was a shame we didn’t find a motel, ’cause we really wanted to stay in Humansville.
