(Grass Roots? my god, I sound like a fucking communist!) It won't ever be
big with the public, But it will always be big with me. I'll always have
room on the couch and an extra burger for a road musician. And I have a
sheet of plywood and some cinder blocks so you always got a stage in my
backyard.

May have to take you up on that Jeff, especially now that you've offered, heh,
heh, heh...
A friend of mine was painting the most dismal picture for me the other day of
the financial future of an alt country artist. It seemed pretty realistic, but
what are you going to do? Like salmon working it's way upstream, you keep
going, going, grateful to be able to have the opprtunity to get out there and
share your music with some like minded folks.
I'll probably come back from this tour we've got planned deep in some hole
somewhere, the financial hole I've come to know so well, but I wouldn't trade
this opportunity for anything.
And, besides, it sure is a hell of a lot of fun
