Bert, you were one of the very first Mudcatters to contact me, personally, and it was about the song I wrote for Colorado, after Columbine. Up to that point it was just a poem...until you sweetly asked me if I had a tune for it. You made me feel so good and so valid! Especially, when we later sang it to one another over the phone. I didn't know how lowly we singer/songwriters were until much later when I naively asked: what's so bad about singer/songwriters?.

Carol, that was a lovely waltz you played in the Outpost Tavern!
