Big Nancy	Aug 23 2009 9:00 AM Al, Thank you for the words of condeolence. Yes, it was a tough week. Unlike most of you at the shore I had only known John for a very few years... met them at Vinnies parties and hit it off. I don't know the politic that went along with those bands and to them we may have been refreshing... I dont know.... but they, John and Rose, became instant friends of Dan's and mine. We found them both to be lovely. John was already quite sick and I was still recovering. Rose and I continue to converse through Myspace and email often... and Man, do I feel robbed! John was such a nice guy and the supply of those is not what it used to be. You that knew him for many years must be throbbing! So many gone too soon! It was nice to hear from you and I hope that you guys are doing well. I hope that you are getting out and playing as much as you would like.... How lucky are we to be doing this??? STILL doing this!!!
Amanda Duncan	Aug 22 2009 3:40 AM Great to meet you last night! I'm glad you are enjoying the CD. I hope you have a great weekend!

It'd be great to see you there! Thanks so much for your support....we really appreciate it. Please keep us in mind if you know of any individual, events or places that we can contribute to and pass our info. along to them, that would be a great help to us. Thanks Again! Sweeter Than Honey
