I hope that you are feeling better. I've been dealing with health
issues as well. I still don't have a lot of spare energy, but I'm
more or less OK.

Santa Cruz is like nowhere else... I miss what it was 25+ years ago, but
that was long gone before I left.

It's tough to deal with all the stuff he had to deal with. Being fragile
mentally plus being a target for all the predators due to fame is
a large burden. I'm glad that he seems to be heading upward too.

Dwight's definately further out on the rock end of the country spectrum
than Lyle Lovett. LA/Bakersfield instead of Nashville. I don't particularly
care for the manufactured Nashville pop country stuff but I like some
of it. To swerve back onto the nominal thread topic the Stones could
probably do an entire country set if they wanted to.

I'll keep an ear out for them. I like lots of different styles if the
quality is there.
