I'm not performing Abby but I'll sing for you anytime. I'm begining to think they won't book me cause of the crowd I run with.
Ya know the song where the verse starts out

"When I was a young lass (lad) me mother used to say
I was such a foolish lad & easily led astray
Before I would work I'd rather sing & play
By the water's side on the banks by the whaler"

Not quite like that, not a bad change, eh? But you get the drift.

I don't know about the paths, it's been a couple of yrs for me too Abby, but I'm sure with money being as tight as it is, everywhere, that you'll find the road's are still a bit rocky, forget the wheelchair bring a windsurfer.
Anyway, it'll be great to see you & Tinker again, it has been a while.
Just to let you know if you bring a flask you won't notice the bumps as much
But you probably knew that, didn't you?
I'm so happy to hear that you'll be making the drive (or are you flying) from North Carolina. I'm getting excited too.
See you there.
Barry
