Dearest Timmy, John March and Mr. Steve Ferrone, Ronnie Foster and the Boise Horn Section. WOW! WOW! WOW! You guys really blew that Mt Baker Blues crowd away! I was out front while you guys played and I over-heard people saying things like: "Who the f+^*# are these guys, Wow!", - "Man these guys are tight", - "Wow, these gus are really professionals", -"This is the best band I heard all weekend", and .... "Damn, this is the best band they ever had here"! Both Lloyd Peterson & his wife & friends gave me much praise for getting you guys there. Lloyd had no idea Timmy & I were such good friends. I am very grateful to have known Timmy for many years and to have him in my life. Musically Tim has always blown me away.
I knew that the band was going to be that damn good but you guys really blew me away and made me very, very proud and honored to be a part of booking you up here. And WTF? Ronnie Foster kicked some really serious ass! Mr.Steve Ferrone was one of the nicest BIG names I ever met, and John March was a true pleaure to meet.
Your superb musicianship and down to earth personalities & kindness are a very nice quaity thesed days. And Kal totally blew everyone away with him doing Finnegans part on 'Reeling in The Years'. Truly amazing.
I truly thank all of you Tim, John, Steve, Ronnie, Robbie, Ron, Rick and the rest of the guys for giving me yet another magical music moment to remember forever.
I will be happy to try and book you up here next year.
Again, Thank you guys one and all

Gentlemen..I don't have a clue as to what it takes to make music, whether good or bad..but even to this novice's ear you guys are pure MAGIC! Thank you so much for a memory of one of my favorite Mt Baker blues experiences in the 5 years I've been a part of the event. Please PLEASE come back again.
