Janie, for what it is worth, seeing you and Annie is always a big part of this for me. I often watch you listening to the music, and you just get taken away by it. You sway, or dance, and it always reminds me what this is all about. Some folks that I watch at gatherings like this always seem to think it is about them. I watch you and know it is about the music, about helping folks feel a feeling, or understand a story.

And by the way, you have a great voice.

I sure am thankful that y'all make your way here each year.

Mick
