That was a fun night, I remember Daniel's ears perk up as soon as he heard the cello on the first song.  Man, I've been recording alot lately, learning a new program, Reaper, that I am going to be using. Got a condensor mic finally and a soundcard..goin' to try and do these songs up right! I'd like to come up and visit this summer still, maybe August, or perhaps in Sept when it cools down a bit.  Ya, I'm so glad I got to come up for that show! see ya bo!

The year is 2009. Uncle Smokin' Joe's intense love for Mr. Matthew Shelton continues unabated. Historians would later concur: "Who the hell could blame him?" Those familiar with both the man and the lingo of the time would add, "Ya, that Shelton dude was one sick bitch."

Strangely enough, the only c.d. that will play in the stereo is "flex your love muscles". pleasantly surprising. i've heard it five times now.

I almost can't listen to new songs when you post them because my heart hurts for at least a week after. I'm not saying you shouldn't post them - I just want you to understand the emotional shock wave you create. Sweet everything - you and your songs are a force of nature.
