   I guess I've always been too much of a team player, not to mention   
   liberated - oh, I just did ;) to expect the guys to be my roadies ;) Oh   
   sure, they usually helped to carry my gear, and that was nice, but I just   
   didn't expect them to ;)

   Very Creepy! They're dropping like flies and NO ONE is filling their   
   places...and a little over 2 weeks ago, we lost Leon Russell, at only 74.   
      
   To those of us still among the living, who appreciate good Music enough to   
   want to see it liv on, even if we don't, WE'D BETTER GET IN GEAR AND MAKE A   
   DIFFERENCE NOW...THERE MAY NOT BE A LATER!!!
