    I just can't even express what a huge influence this band has on my music and the way that i love to perform, Betty especially, my dad know Doug and a few summers ago we came to see you play acoustic in Door County- I loved it- you all just express such an amazing message through your performance. So ya, just thought you should know! =) -Sam Owen.

    Finally got the double CD and have been listening to it every chance I get. It is great. My favorite song right now is "Rome"- love the mandolin playing. I'm trying to learn it on my new used acoustic guitar.
    Get this- the original owners name was Betty and it has her name on the box! Thanks for the music, Clear Blue Betty!
