jLp was the bomb....  and so was the coffehouse in Fort Wayne... hey
Rick.. my wife still has this old wine bottle with candle wax all over it
that you gave her for helping with the coffehouse... actually... it's
quite a treasure to her...  a central part of our decor.

I'm sorry that the old tiki tambourine stand has been retired, but you
know... i had an idea last night at work of getting the old band back
together to re-record "fall".. using all the same instrumentation, only
this time making sure the piano is in TUNE with the guitar, and getting a
little better sound quality... maybe re-releasing it on CD or
something...   but no doubt we would have to dredge up the old stand..
it's not the same without it.

Does anybody know if otr is planning a new album any time soon....?  I
know they are on tour now with Cowboy Junkies... i read something about
exciting big plans when they got back... anybody got an inkling of what
that is??? I don't know about you guys, but it's been way too long since
i've seen them in concert... WAY too long..  i'm jonesin for it... "I
need a fix cause i'm goin down"..................

late.

THE WORD IS ALIVE IS THE WORD
