I can't wait to listen to your cd. I left town yesterday morning and left it behind, like an idiot. It was great sharing a "stage" with you. Let's do it again sometime.

p.s. I'm friends with Little Teeth too.
Aren't they great?

The dulcimer sounds good, Ben. It's weird how many different kinds of sounds you can get to come out of those things...

Also, it was nice kinda meeting you that one Friday.

Until next,
