Yeah man I think I know that cat !!  Aint he that harp player
 that wears that Amish hat and builds stuff out in his barn then 
brings it to jam (cause he dont have no electric)  to try out on everyone?  
That's one crazy cat !!  Hey Spankmiester, I read this list daily 
and post when I feel I can add my two cents worth.  As always, good 
to jam with you last night man.   You sounded GREAT !! 

Later bro....
