About me: "And I believe this: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual."
-John Steinbeck, East of Eden
"I was nervous and timid, yet from reading of the people I admire, ranging from the soldiers at Valley Forge, to the heroes of my favorite stories...I had a great admiration for the men who were fearless and who could hold their own in the world, and I had a great desire to be like them"
-Theodore Roosevelt
"The best failures aren't forgotten; they're incorporated into our life's narrative."
-John August
"Anything, everything, is possible."
-Thomas Edison 1908<BR

Hey J !! Dare I say it ? We've got 5 shows together coming up and I can hardly wait !! Just for grins, think of an easy cover song or 2 that maybe we can all play together . I was thinking of Mudcrutch's " Orphan Of The Storm" with gang vocals on the chorus and Jay, Jeremi and Leslie trading verses. It would be sweet ! See you soon
