Mark--I was happy to see you are booked at Schuba's Tavern in Chicago, but then I realized I also have a show that night. I think this is the 2nd time you've swung through town on a night that I'm playing. Don't you know you're supposed to check with me before booking your gigs?  Schuba's is a wonderful room. Small, with a great vibe.
One of these days I'll catch your show. Hope your tour goes well. |

Huge thanks to all of you who came out to talk steel- we had a great tour which regretfully ended just 5 miles short of the Oregon country Fair in a Nasty Bus Crash with an 18 Wheel Gravel Truck. Our poor Silver Eagle is totalled but no one was hurt and we're all home safe, picking up the pieces. Anybody got a line on a used Bus?
