Folks,

I've fond memories of hangin' out with Stan at the bar of Somebody Elses's Troubles, a great 1970s club in Chicago owned in part by Steve Goodman & Earl Pionke (the Earl of Old Town), Fred Holstein & others. Was learning "White Squall" and told Stan it was hell learning his songs 'cause he always "nailed it" when he recorded it--there was no way I'd ever get close to his own rendition. In later years I played at Winnipeg a couple of times and I've still got a photo somewhere of Mr. Mills & Stan hanging out back stage. Wonderful times those.

Paul, thanks for the wonderful music!! It has been a great go-'round.
