I know, I promised videos from our NY trip. However, we had technical difficulties at first and now I've lost all gumption for it! :) We've been playing locally now, seeing a few familiar faces and still meeting a lot of new ones!

We're starting to do some thinking about our next CD. Right now it's mostly just playing around with songs, trying to figure out what would go best, where to put it if we use it. Some requests we've had are: "Keep Watch" and "Muleskinner Blues." The first is almost certain to end up on the CD, but the 2nd will be harder. Abby sings MB with so much emphasis (one way to put it) and so piercingly (and I mean that in the best possible way--I love to hear her singing this song) that it will be very hard for us to figure out how to record it right! Any sound engineers with helpful tips? 

More personal news: Daddy/Tom has invented a new piece you can attach to a chain-saw to help make a straight cut, Anna/I  took the biology CLEP test last week and passed, gaining 4 college credits without entering a classroom, we're still getting bell peppers from the garden, and Micah's getting a new tooth!

The picture of the gravestone is one I took in Thurman, NY, in the Adirondack Mtns. It's for a Civil War soldier who was killed in VA, and it made me stop and think . . . I forget about the horrible casualties in the North because we're Southern. Thank God it's over. (I can just hear my Pappy debating that last statement!) :D

God bless and keep you and may we see you soon!
