Wonderful weekend. I understand the benefit collected $1600 for the Ladies Oxillary-Aucksillery-Ocksilliry Association at the hospital. I haven`t laughed that much in many many moons--probably the last time we got together.

Thunder Thieves is a dynamite piece of work. Thanks for leaving it with me, Ron. And the two new ones of yours that I will learn to sing are still running through my head. Jaysus, they`re inspired, well-considered and deeply `spiritual`. IMO, the absolute best writing ever from you.

It must have taken us about thirty-two seconds to pick up where we left off and it took me about that long to realize how much I`ve missed shootin`the breeze with you but mostly missed making music.

Anyway, later . . . .
