Stopped by to check in. The Tour is going well. At the moment we are in Ohio, and the temperature is in the 70's. Met a lot of people and sold a lot of CD's. We stayed at a RV campsite and had a lot of people walk up and knock on the door and ask for CD's and ask if we would do a show for them, which we did. Still we are looking forward to being home again and performing at music fest 2008. Take care and God Bless.
