Charles Hotham, left and his friend Paul Bickford practice Saturday afternoon in Bickford’s Auburn garage. The two have known each other for over 20 years and played in a few bands together. But, between the pandemic and Bickford moving away, their music playing days were on “hiatus” according to Bickford, who recently moved back to the area. Bickford looked his friend up and invited him over to his garage to make music again. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal
