I just got to say that this came about thru Mudcat Cafe with the accent on the last 'e'.. I'm at the stage of test running the project to regular folks like you all. It's not for sale yet.. but I thought it would be fitting to let some out at the cafe since this is where me and JT hooked up... Politics aside, this is what drew me to this site and still keeps me here... so to the handful.. much luv Ron

Thank ya'll. I am glad you all enjoy it. I can't say how much I enjoyed recording, picking, and writing with Ron. He is a great person in general. I hear people talk about how great and talented musicians are all the time but forget to mention they are cool people in general. Ron is without a doubt like a brother to me and a cool guy in general. I enjoyed making the CD more than I can express. Thanks Ron and thanks to everyone for the nice comments. I will post some songs once I get the CD on my computer. I hope it takes I am still having trouble with my PC. Thanks alot ya'll

That is a mighty fine song Ron and J.T.
Ron, I wrote you down in pencil to do a show October 8th. I know it is a long way off but you have until mid August to confirm as this will be when I release the schedule for Sept., Oct., Nov., and December.
Hope this is good for you.

That's the difference between us, Beer. You went out to look. I am too lazy to bother until I get a report or I see them at the grocery store.

Fiddleheads announce the spring,
Wonderous greens for human beings.
We pick them, cook them and munch them down,
And when we fart, people leave the town.

Do you do vinegar on them?

Hey... it keeps the thread up on the page, eh?

what do you mean thinking ? I'm rolling in with a fresh batch of songs and some intentionally unfinished ideas that need looking at by other than myself... Tom was ready to leave N-ville tomorrow to come see me, but I just told him he'd better wait a week cuz Madisonville is a shorter ride than Americus... hot down here.. everyone stay well

Ya'll check out longlivekentuckymusic.com and also there is a long live kentucky music group on facebook. They are not my sites but... haha. My fiance is the one that made both of them. She surprised me with them. They deal with alot of different artists. They both are just getting going so right now there is not much on them but there will be.

That's great JT... I had some funny ideas while driving up from Plains today for 'Earl the Squirrel'.. it must have been Billy Carter's Gas station that triggered it. He's long gone but it's still there..
I manage to rhyme Jubal E. Early with squirrely... ha ha.. the poor critter ends up losing his nuts !! more later, see you soon   Ron

Update: did 3 evenings in the studio last week... got 10 basic cuts for 'Thunder Thieves 2'with JT...... another 3 by Michael James Harris and 3 more by Tom Ghent for other projects.. Tom is a wonderful person and dynamite writer performer... he is also a great story teller... mostly about his own experiences in music... we also did a live radio show in Madisonville KY on Fri... it was supposed to be their last show in this format which is a shame... hopefully they can pick up a couple of sponsers and continue to feature live music... more later   R
