Susette and I enjoyed the getaway quite a bit. I would be remiss if I didn't point out a few items and statements of fact:

Morticia is much cuter that Micca.


Rick Fielding tends to underdress for these occasions.

You can't play "Truck Driving Man" on the D-41 (a very nice guitar by the way) at 200 beats per minute when your fingers are freezing to the frets.

Brother Fielding and I had a mutual guitar appreciation weekend for our new babies, his D-41 and my Gallagher. (Better than this, oh pickers, it doesn't much get.)

The weather was chilly and dank, but the spirits (notably Jack Daniels) remained high.

Jennifer made us multicolored buttons even though we were "DAY PEOPLE", and for this S and I were most grateful.

Our "Old Time Country Music" workshop was lots of fun. Thanks to Charlie, who's always smiling and Rita and Nancy for making happen.

I'll never forget the look on Kendall's face as he tried to figure out what chord Rick might choose next as we joined him for "Do Re Mi" at the end of Rick's mini-concert. He hung in there though!

cheers, Chance
