say Bryan I spend some time, at least once a year, in Waynesville OH (usually fall). Looks like that's about an hour from you? We should play some tunes someday if we get a chance.

- no worries Bryan. I'll probably not be back there until the fall sometime. Last year we went early to attend the Hotmud Family reunion shows... but normally we get there in November sometime.
