No need to explain anymore than you already have, Jed. All I will add is that it stirred some intense remembrances for me. As I have told you, when I do my CD, that one will be on it.

The story of the Beef Brothers has been told before. Jed, Rick, and I were at The Getaway. Rick asked Jed and I to accompany him on a song at the evening concert. As we stood on stage, Rick looked at the two of us with a smile and introduced by name, then added otherwise known as The Beef Brothers. And so we were born. When I came to TO to sing at Rick's CD release, he (knowing where he was at medically) pronounced Paul as the new Beef Brother. And Jed and I concurred with his wise move. I have always felt that we should find a way to meet in TO and do a Beef Brothers concert. We all would like to, but this nagging little need to support ones self keeps getting in the way. But it is something we need to do.

One more funny bit from that night at the Getaway. When we came off stage, folks were still chuckling. Rick asked someone (might have been Bill D) what they were still chuckling about. This person said "Rick, until tonight no one ever thought of you as a small person before".

All the best,

Mick
