Mark, my brother, you are the BEST of the BEST, bar none. Speaking of Bar Nuns, which we weren't, but I am, I used to know a band comprised of Catholic Nuns who used to play in a bar in New Haven, CT under that name. Oh man, they were a hoot. One of them was one of my school teachers and I didn't know she had this secret life playing in a band. How cool it that? Oh well. Hey folks, message Mark about getting his latest "Live In The Bluegrass" album, it's one of the finest hours you'll ever spend in your life! - Joe (WildCat Records)
