Hey everyone, it was great to see you and play a few tunes on Firday Oct. 15th in celebration of life for Byron. A great man and musician.

Kit- it was an honor to play with you and the rest of those Free Range Chickens.

It was great to see you all of you again- Kitt, Howard, Daryl, Sue, Matt, Ray, Tamara, Scott, Michelle, and everyone else.
