Bill, i remember having this discussion with you about a year ago when you first made up your mind to go exclusively solo/duet. The break is necessary when the rest of the band doesn't share your enthusiasm for the music. I know we've all walked away from similar situations where people only wanted to show up, play and get paid. And we all know that they were leaving out the most important ingredient, the music. I'll be celebrating my third year solo in 2011 and I love it. I know you will continue to be successful because you're so good at what you do and there is no alternative with you. Good luck.

BTW - Congrats, Gramps on your new #1 grandson.
