Day Seventy & Weekend Update

A good time was had by all at our weekend shows, at least that's how I remember it.  If anyone wasn't having  a good time they failed to mention it.  Saturday evening at  the European Street cafe in Jacksonville flew by in the wink of an eye.  It's a great room with a great staff and the perfect place to hear all kinds of great music.  Ray Lewis books the talent there and works his butt of to put things together, thanks Ray!  Our good friend Larry Mangum loaned us his mixer and amp and helped us get the sound up and running, thanks Larry!  And a big thank you to all the folks who came out to hang out with us.
   Sunday we meandered  south to the world famous Osteen Diner, in where else, Osteen.  Talk about a well kept secret.  This is a great little place off the beaten path.  Great food and a list of cakes and pies that will blow your mind.  Rumor has it that the strawberry rhubarb pie with vanilla ice cream was worth it's weight in gold.  I resisted in an attempt to keep my boyish figure in tact.  We had a small but appreciative crowd and we really enjoyed the afternoon.   Barry Brogan opened up for us with his shiny chrome guitar and old time blues, thanks Barry!  Our good friend Joe Waller helped us get set up and made sure all systems were go, thanks Joe.
   It's plain to see we probably wouldn't survive out there without all of our good friends helping us out and lending a hand.  Thanks everyone for being there for us, we appreciate it more than we can say.
Until tomorrow, here's your daily words of wisdom:


“Friends are God's way of apologizing to us for our families.”
