Bebop: Thanks so much to you (and others as well) for the kind words! I do enjoy writing almost as much as I enjoy the music side of things. I was so elated that I got through the gig last night that I just thought I'd relay my experience.

I was on the road w/my job for six weeks - just got back last weekend. It was a long haul and getting my keyboard fingers back was on the "todo list" with cutting the back yard which had not been mowed since 22 June.

Scott - I checked the links for the Dick Tracy's - kewl! I recognize Joe on the alto. Who's the keyboard guy? Looks like a fun band!

Thanks again Bebop!

Randy
