Eileen&Jd-
I hope I don't sound annoying or anything. But anywho, I miss you guys way to much for words to say. I have not seen you since 3rd grade! can you believe that? I can't I mean.. That was like my 9th birthday present. I am actually going to be a Freshman in High School this year. Im kinda scared. But I miss you guys too much to not be able to see you again. I love you guys, no joke. You have touched my heart before I was even born. I mean, I was in my mothers womb and she went to a concert and thats how my name was found. Pretty amazing huh? anyways. pleasedo a campfire or a concert of something anything. I love you. Hope to see you soon

Thanks J.D For the new CD. I just got it today and have listened through several times. I have to say .... you've done it again. I especially like "The Baxter Brothers" and "I Hate to say Goodbye" and "Maybe". Your music sounds very heartfelt and sincere. Stay healthy and happy. Little Joe

Well, it's official! The Governor signed the bill yesterday. No more horses can legally be slaughtered in Illinois! Now to get in banned in the entire U.S.

Contact your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and ask them to support to H.R. 503/S. 311.

Hi JD, Eileen, Merl,

Well it has been busy, busy, busy, around these parts, The squirrels, if we're not playing somewhere we are cooking somewhere.... Getting the Rollin' Smokin' Roadhouse Bar-B-Q thing going. We are entering a couple of cook-offs this year.... Wish us Luck. I hope everything is well with your health. How's that Missouri Beater Box holding out. The Missouri Beater Mandolin has kind of been on hold.... I am thinking they need to extend the days to 36 hours, maybe I can get accomplished everything I want to..... I hope that we will all see you again in September for September Moon, But I do understand if it doesn't happen.... Stay Healthy and Happy and keep old ethyl in line..... Lord knows she needs it...... ...... Just kinding Ethyl you know I love ya darlin.....
