Walt, after reading your post I just sat back in my chair, stared at the screen and reread your words. Threw up my hands and shouted, now there’s a man that thinks just like me. Poking her head around the corner from the kitchen, Ruthie quipped, ‘heavens to Betsy, not another one like you’? Come on girl! Look! Cees, John and others all agree. Let er rip! If it don’t come out so good, give it another shot. After a few more shots if all the boo-boo’s don’t die let it all hang out for others to hear. After all, having fun is the name of the game. Remember Rue? You said I’ll take him for better or worse. Well you got me and I agreed to the same. All the time we spent together we got some good and some bad, but we sure had fun. After all we got six kids. Our mistakes and the boo-boo’s we make are the real us. Ruth and me have lived this way and it works. So Walt, Cees and you guys, yes, lets try to improve but lets not be afraid to present ourselves and our music as we are and not hide behind too much technology. After all, if we meet face to face someday, as I like to do, we will know each other as we are, not as we would like to be. I really like the way yo’all think. Thanks!
