Squeakie, I think there are a bunch of Mudcatters who would say if they had to choose between chocolate and their friends would ask "What friends?"

And Micca, I hope you are back in good health as well--I checked in a few times over the past months to see you were having your own problems.

Night Owl, I'll have to check with Charlie about the lyrics to "Friend on the Strings." "Sally's Song" is an instrumental, and Walter, in writing it, did a fine job of suggesting the sound of Sally's harp playing. By the way, have you fully recovered from your fire (or was it a flood?)?

And thanks, everyone, for your kind words and thoughts.

MuhMario, have you and Pat managed to breed a litter of ceramic possums yet?

And Pat, the unnatural acts I perform with a banjo are not lewd, merely bad music. Some of my lyrics are lewd, I'll admit.

And, of course, kat, m'love, I hope you are feeling well and still chanelling the magic of the Mother Earth.
