Don:

You're right! There is a country song in that story somewhere. I'll be in Glen Rose, Texas visiting family in that great little town. Hope the "gig" goes well. I'm kinda worried about your guitar player. Keep an eye on him. Surgery takes time for recovery.
Glad "Semilive" is waiting in the wings.

Have a great time and a fabulous 2006.

All my best, RICE
