    Doggone it, Billy, it's just not fair. I've got tons of stuff I need to be doing and I just can't seem to tear myself away from your music to save my life. I've only recently discovered you and your incredible band of fine musicians and now I'm hopelessly addicted to your music. Listen to it day and night. Love nothing better than to grab the old D-35 and play along, especially to this catchy tune! Would love to see a live performance some day. You guys make it look way too easy and obviously love what you do. Keep up the great work. A new fan for life here.
