A mule walks into a pub . . .

Photo of a bluegrass jam session in a London pub

Here's a familiar scene -- a typical Sunday afternoon bluegrass jam session in a typical London pub.  Nothing out of the ordinary here.  But wait -- check out the bloke in the center of the photo.  Blimey!  That's a Miracle Mule t-shirt he's wearing!  How did that stylish garment make it across the pond and find its way onto the back of a random London bluegrass guitar player?  After a bit of Miracle Mule sleuthing, the bloke in question has been identified as the brother-in-law of one Michael Whiteley, who happens to have been the Mules' original accordion player and occasional substitute bass player.  We may never know for certain, but our working theory is that Michael just may have had something to do with that shirt mysteriously appearing in that particular London pub on that particular Sunday afternoon.  We're just happy to see it and are going to consider this mystery solved.  Oh, and 10 quid for the first one of you would-be paparazzi to snap a photo of King Chuck sporting a Miracle Mule shirt!
