WAHOO, TELLURIDE BAND CONTEST WINNERS. We knew you would. Was great to meet you all at Bushwhacker Days, sure enjoyed the moonlight music at the park. You know you have a standing invitation anytime you need a little campfire therapy. Cangrats and anything you ever need of Lorrie and I just give a shout. Just so you know, I've stood in that same moonlight at that little park and swapped songs with a lot of people and I could tell that night that I was surrounded by one of my favorite things, good people. Best to you in all that you do. Dan and Lorrie
