I enjoyed all of your pairings Rick and I did know they were real...I just thought you threw that last one in with a little extra fanfare making me assume it was a shot...but that DID make the sideways line a little nutso didn't it? Emmylou takes a lot of flak sometimes 'cause she doesn't fit the right slots all the time and often moves forward or backward in a kind of exploration process. Lately I've been pushing "Prayer in Open D" every chance I get to the point of nausea. Not many songs speak to taking personal responsibility for what we do in this age. So I kinda' thought you were zapping me about "my Girl." Didn't know about the guitar, thought she was still on the Gibson thing.

Best of luck...I'm sure you won't need it...on tour. Taking a "stabilizing influence" along ought to make it fun without being,uh...costly? Hope you both have a good time. Karen and I are dying for a few days alone together, so I'm envious too!!!I'll miss you while you're gone too there...Reg!
