Thanks for your support man. Shows, they'll be a happening, we're going low key at first, but will let you know.  We're working on a couple of things but don't have the dates yet. Maybe we can share a bill sometime with one of your fine organizations. See you soon, M

Hey - haven't been on myspace in a long time.  Just got your comment about Columbia - don't see it listed on your show dates though.  Would love to see you - you are welcome to stay with us if/when you come to town.  Miss you lots - hard to believe we let so much time go by........ Mom is not doing well - I know she would love to see you too.  Love you, Jo
