All of a sudden, I'm back at a wee corner table in a Serrano's in Austin a few years back, dining, discussing and finally jamming with Jed. Highlight of that trip, for sure (well, other than visiting with the dear friends who coerced me into traveling from Canada).

Best o' fortune with the festival, Jed. I'll not be there, but then again, if the lottery gods smile upon me in the meantime . . .
