Thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Better than the first. Great piece on the Bob Lewis
Family. Thought gratefully of your insights on this list, Jon, seeing this great
American family.
Such diversity and spirit running through each of the segments. And the BoRox...I loved
seeing and hearing them play and talk. Born & raised in Nebraska. A lone p2er here in
southern Oregon. Off to Alphabet City Opry & the big city this weekend. Great work on
Twangfest, Mike. Finally got the bugs worked out. Thanks to all on this list.
Caio!
