Jeri - you're correct, at the time of the first Mudcat mention of Michael Troy I hadn't heard of him. I met Michael at the Folk Alliance conference in Austin. Michael's agent, Marylin Edge has been most helpful to me, working on some dates up that way for my upcoming tour in Aug. She's been very generous with her time and effective with her assistance.

SINSULL - Michael's song, LAST DAY IN MAY is easily the strongest on the album and moves me deeply. I sing it often and it never fails to move the audience' as well. Michael is a fine and gifted writer.

I'm very sorry to have missed you in Dallas, Chance - but I hope to visit this summer. St Pat's Day/weekend in Missouri was a trip! I worked my ass off (well my voice anyway) with a 9 hour show on Thu - followed by two 4 hour shows on the weekend. Nice place, nice folks, good fun. Sold a bunch o' CDs too - so I am doubly pleased!
