Glad you had a good time at Wind Gap, Jim. I rained like crazy at Sterling
Park. I'm going to have to take one of my resos and put a SPIGOT on it,
geez.....
Junior Barber & Beartracks are not to be missed under any circumstances. Junior is a master of our instrument and his cousins Julie & Tom, well they just compliment each other so well. I'm not working any festivals with them this year, but I'm seriously considering going to a festival they've got four sets schedueled.....m'gawd I'm gonna actually PAY.....well folks, that's how GOOD they are!
Twangs,
Richie
ps....y'all being too durned quiet lately, what's up with that?
