ps: Sometime if/when you think about it, pleez get in Tim Wright's face & tell him don't forget to return my Homer & Jethro record(s). "Songs My Mother Never Sang" is the main concern.
I'm good, Mike. The majority of my work is writing/arranging for family shows & churches. I do play on Sundays & teach a little bit, that's slowly going away as the arr. gig(s) are taking over, matter of fact I'm in a HUGE one now that needs to be done yesterday, you know the drill. ;-)
Thankew for joining up with me here!
Keep your tailgate up,
