As far as I know, in Texas, this is proof positive that I don't even exist!

Did you write a report on the Sighisoara gig and it slipped by me? How'd it go? Did you need the garlic around your neck?

Take it easy, Joe

Post by: Mr.OMuck on March 18, 2011, 05:44:55 AM: Great cuts! The sound balance on the instrumental is the best I've heard you guys have. You might have to get one o' them dreadnoughts Frank!

Post by: lindy on March 18, 2011, 10:17:26 AM: Take yer time, Frank, just wanted to let you know we were thinking about y'all on that trip. From a quick look at your facebook page, it looks like maybe you spent some time teaching your Romanian hosts how to square dance, that must've been a hoot.

(I had trouble accessing done gone yesterday afternoon, which had me wonderin' . . . all fixed, whatever it was.)

Post by: lindy on March 29, 2011, 10:38:17 PM: Thanks, Frankie, great story, well-told. Glad you talked your way into an alternative space for the unplugged blues.

Romanian plum wine, yum!
