Well Spring is here in Montana. Today it was snowing while the sun was shining! Something about the devil and his wife.... We had a great trip to Memphis, Mississippi and New Orleans this winter. Sun Studios is vibey and actually very moving. Mississippi Delta is a happening place thanks to contemporary blues fans and their homage to the famous as well as the un-hearladed genius black blues players from that region over the last century. I bought a guitar in Clarksdale. There's something cool about it. Natchez, Vicksburg and Greenville all spectacular.

New Orleans was great largely thanks to Annie's brother Steve and his wife Trudy. Mardi Gras, great eating, lots of driving around visiting old haunts and new lives in the making. Caleb's visit, all the way from China, was a special treat
.
Well we recorded a song called "Simple Ways", written by the very talented Human, for a film by Carmen Goodyear and Laurie York. The film " Women on the Land" is about women living on and building lives on the land. Sort of an evolution of the seminal 70's publication "Country Women". The film has been getting great reviews and press and will soon be released. We're proud to be included.

Made some new friends at LaHood's and hope to play a little more music there with them. It's a great place and has a rich musical history. Steve , the owner , has been around the block and can tell you some great tales of adventure and romance! Good food too!

Gary will play with our friend Bruce South in Red Lodge on June 9th for a Founder's day celebration at the Pollard Hotel. He needs a new hat though. Pretty nice place.

Our Album ,  titled "Spring Loaded Heart" will be out soon. Preorders are being taken. Don't miss out.

It's snowing again and the sun is shining again as well. Springtime! Talk to y'all soon
