Thanks Ashleigh, Paul and Brian!
Ashleigh, you're welcome! Thanks for taking that time to get to know us. I bet you have your own journey to tell, as we all do, no matter the stage of it.
Paul, "smart" is one thing we usually don't get associated with too much these days! (another long story). We're working on it though! We are pleased you like what we do, being that I have heard your songs, and know you are a seasoned writer and performer. People, look up Paul Epstein on MP3.com Good Country! Good guy! A "teacher" of kids too! "They" are to be idolized, not us musicians.
Brian, what you explained is so true! It's when we try so hard, and think things "should" be done NOW, that it never does happen the way we want it to. It's when things are happening for a deeper reason, in their own time, that we get surprised, or at least learn something from it. I have just said in an e-mail to Michael Laskow, that if we ever do get to do music ONLY, and for a steady living, that we "will be" the smartest ones to ever "fully make it", because of ALL the mistakes we made, and are probably still making! We have fun with all of it though! It's all good! It has to be, if this is our only time on this precious Earth! Maybe the term mistakes is the wrong term to use with life's experiences. Maybe it's all the right things to be going through, whether it ends of the way we want or not. I guess we have to just deal with things as they are NOW, and move on to the next rung of the ladder, one reach, one step at a time.
Thank you for your best wishes toward Buddy and myself.
John
