Well, ain't like I was *down" in Mississippi, O-Mike... All m recordin' was done up in Thaxton, which is 'bout 10 miles east of Oxford (Ol' Miss...) and 'bout 40 miles west of Tupelo...

Weren't no damage up there to speak of but I did fly into Memphis on the 30th, one day after Katrina and was stayin' at a friends house... He books a lot of musicans an' I went to sleep on his couich 'round 10:00 and woke up to a house full of kids, dogs, guitars and musicans that had come up from N.O.'s.....

Hey, the joint was wall to wall musicans.... I just gather my stuff 'round daylight and go myself down to Mississippi...

...but thanks much to Dennis "Mempho" Brooks fir his couch....
