Don't forsake the mountains, Matt! We're drowning in a sea of Avett Brothers wannabes and jam bands and dirty hippies! And because of this I've been drowning myself in whiskey and trying to play Don Helms licks on the lap steel, but I'm too sloppy drunk to do anything but cry listening to Hank Williams.
Please come back. We need you.
Hope your gig went well tonight. I'm sure you melted many a face. Tell Max and Chuck I say hello.
