Dear Jerry,

You are absolutely right about not wanting to play for a venue that didn't want you. The few times Margaret and I played for places where the booker had been coerced into having us was a disaster. The enthusiasm of a place to have you can really make a difference in attendance. By the way, Margaret and I really enjoyed doing the double show with you at the Cafe Carpe in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin years ago. First time I heard "Handfull of Songs" and loved it ever since.

Art sang that song to open a special concert to honor volunteers for the Fox Valley Folklore Society the day after one of out board members had been murdered. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
