Subject: RE: Review: appalachia - New song from olddude
you folks are way way too kind. Thanks Tom, I just play and write for fun. I thank you so much. My granddad worked in the mine in West Virginia in the early 1900. One time I saw this huge rat in our field and I was going to bop it one. He stopped me and told me when he was a miner he would feed them part of his lunch. He said you watched the rats, when they started running you threw your shovel and ran for they always knew if a gas pocket was going to be broken or if a collapse was going to happen.   Terrible job even today I think.

So sad the kids on that show, shook me pretty hard. I wasn't comparing my friends you folks are use to hearing great tunes from the masters on mudcat. I am just an amateur but I like to play. Thank you for your kindness. JT, the new baby is BEAUTIFUL. I know you are busy my friend no problem at all.
