Hey boys! Long time no see, yet again. I miss the four of you! Will hopefully be able to come to the next gig, and give Clark the 5 cd's I still have to sell. See you all real soon. The "roadie" Heather
I'm so excited to come and play w/ you and Traveled Ground again. Really looking forward to it! :) Well, I would love to do Troubled Times and Ride for uptempo songs. If we want to do a slow song we could maybe do Losin' Side or The Hard Way would be fun w/ you, but those first 2 would be great! Thanks, Clark and talk to you soon! ~Caitlin
Thanks so much for the comment and thank you SO much for letting me play that night. I had the best musical night of my life. I've never got to solo practically every song. haha!
I can't wait to come back and play w/ you all again. I'll keep you posted when I'm back that way!
