Hello, all: I found our evening at the Free Times totally exhilarating. Among other thrills,three of the composers of songs from my new CD were there. From the stage,I could see and recognize everyone in the house. Every seat was occupied and most everybody was beaming from ear to ear all night long. My family, mudcatters, Lucy's ladies, buddies from my youth were all there. My friends from the Woods Camp and Toronto's Friday-night song circle turned out full force. I feel so lucky and grateful to have the support of all those wonderful people. And I can't begin to describe the thrill of sharing the stage with Paul Mills, Tom Leighton, and Bob Hewus. I only regret that some folks came late and couldn't get in. And thanks to Heather for a lovely interview. Rick, I hope your trip went well. God bless everyone.
