Ok, here's the picture. Bill was feeling a little two-dimensional the day we took it. Poor feller. It might have been because of the nail stuck through his forhead. That didn't seem to effect his singing to any noticable degree, though...

Me, Mr. Shatner, and one of the other friendly greeters at the gate

Bee-dubya-ell, that Florida festival sounds great, but if it runs concurrently with Kerrville, I don't think we'll be going to that one any year soon. No accordions huh? That's really sad.

There were a handful of squeezers at Kerrville this year. I only found two of them though, and it took me a long time to do it in the midst of a couple thousand people with tents and campers scattered all over the place.

We took a little side trip to the Gulf (of Mexico) coast in Mississippi on the way home. There's a fantastic little restaurant on the beach in the area just to the west of Gulfport. Ohhhh man... the owner and/or chef at that place is a genius with food. We sat on a deck overlooking the beautiful white sand beaches, looking out to sea and watching the sea birds, and ate some of the best vegetarian food I've ever had in a restaurant. JtS didn't eat vegetarian though. He had catfish, but he said it was the best catfish he ever ate. It had crabmeat stuffing. If I could remember the name of the restaurant, I would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone passing through the area.

LH, you ought to consider entering some of your songs in the Kerrville festival's New Folk competition. I bet you'd have a good chance of winning with at least one of them.
