Howdy,
Thanks to everyone who came out to the Murphy Theater in Wilmington, OH. We had a great crowd and a great time. We enjoyed ourselves as much or more than we ever have. The Murphy Theater is one of the most beautiful venues we've ever played. We were there with The Isaacs and, as always, had a great time hanging out with them. It's like a family reunion every time I'm around them. Ben ran sound for us and had us sounding like somebody. He really does a great job and has enough equipment to run sound in an arena. And, he knows how to use it.

I was blessed to have my boys, Jordan and Austin,  with me and they had a great time. Jordan actually got to play his harmonica with The Isaacs during there sound check. He was thrilled to say the least. For those of you that don't know, Jordan has Down Syndrome. Jordan has known The Isaacs all his life as I played for them for about 6 years. Becky Isaacs Bowman actually sat on Jordan when he was a baby. Thanks Beck. Anyway, my boys had a great time just hanging out with old friends.

Speaking of old friends, I had several old friends that I don't get to see often like Steve and Nicki Bishop and Chastity....Thanks for coming out (next time, don't show up after it's over.....).

Poor old Jr. was dog sick Saturday. He had the flu and a temperature of about 100 degrees. I felt sorry for him, but he is a really dedicated guy. I think I would've just stayed home, but he got his wife Janice and son Jacob to drive him on up and did a great job for a guy that should've been in the bed. We tease Jr. a lot, but he really is the most kind hearted person I've ever been around. I don't know what we'd do without him.

 Things are really going well for the band and we're excited about our future. We've met so many great people over the past few years... And many of you have signed our guestbook and encouraged us more than you know. We read the guestbook every day, and though we can't respond to all entries, we sure do appreciate your comments, questions, suggestions, support and concerns. Please continue to let us know what you think.

Come see us this Saturday at The Fox Hunters Club in Cattletsburg, KY. Shotgun and huntin' dog are optional.

See ya soon.
