That is fantastic news! I'm super happy for you.

Hey, if you get a chance will you ask Huey what he thinks of Weird Al Yankovic's version of "I Want A New DUCK?" Did you ever hear that? It's a riot, right where on Huey's version the cool sax, horn section comes in, on Wierd Al's version it is the same line only instead of saxes they used duck quacks! quack, quack.

Al,

Great news and I know you'll really rock the house down. Wow! I can not say I knew Al when he was...

Good Luck,

Gary

They do vary a lot. Some of the up and coming country acts get $10,000 or so at our local fair. George Jones got around $60,000. Loretta Lynn got $50,000. I'd sing for an hour and a half for that!
