But, Kendall, now that the old voice has gone, the new voice should be perfect fir singin' the blues so tune that gitfiddle down to open G and pull out yer bottleneck... See, there *is* a silver lining in them dark clouds...

Sorry to have missed you at the Getaway. Rita asked me last year to come up and lead a blues jam but I was puttin' on a mini-festival in Leesburg this past weekend...

Ran into another Maine'r who knows of ya' but fir the life of me can't think who it was... At least this one didn't have you kilt off in no car crash, like Ani Clark had...
