   Yep.  I personally don't care for the name, don't think it has any sizzle   
   whatever, but with that lineup, it should still sell itself readily enough

   Well, it's everybody's second, third (or in dad's case, fourth at   
   least-he'll play for anything, and it doesn't seem just about the money,   
   the man just still loves to play music, whether it's dixieland jazz,   
   bluegrass, tradcountry or he's done a few sit-in gigs with both cajun and   
   german oompah-polka bands) band.  They'll play as often as they can all   
   get together when it doesn't interfere with prior commitments.  From what   
   dad tells me, they sound good, and will play at the drop of a hat.  I   
   personally can't wait to hear what a Starling, Gaudreau and Auldridge trio   
   will sound like.

   It's in post-recording.  Everything got taped in Gnashville the week after   
   Thanksgiving.  Like you'd probably expect, EmmyLou shows up on a song or   
   two.  I'll let y'all know about a release date.  Dad hasn't even told me   
   whether Mike played dobro only, or steel on some cuts (after all, it was   
   Mike's playing on the "World's Greatest Show" concert and Act IV that led   
   me to add steel to dobro)   
      
   I also would like to see the release of Ron Spears' tribute album to John   
   Duffey.  I think that's all finished up, just looking for a label.
