Ah..........another good man falls into the pit........it's all over for you, buddy.........soon you will find yourself in strange people's homes, playing for other strange people.......making a buck or two..........and absolutely intoxicated with sharing the music..........GAS comes next.........soon you are giving up meals, money and sleep trying to get another fix of the elixer that is performing.........and I had such hopes for you. Fielding, Marum, Kennedy,.......we have to quit doing this to people. I feel like a musical Lestat..................LOL.

Seriously, Allan, my good friend. You will do fine. Remember what I told you at the first Getaway we attended? You were good enough to perform then, and you have come a long way since then. I will be firing the energy your way on the 12th. But you will be great, just play it from the heart. Oh, yeah, warm 'em up good because I have a feeling I might just get down that way this coming year.

I am proud of you.

Mick
