Hi Mike,

That was a great show at the musicfest. Your new cd is great too, I especially like the inbetweens. Well I'm officialy retired as of 2 weeks ago, and I played my first blues jam over at the emaus fire co, the one sponsered by the lvb.

Just wanted to let you know, and it went pretty well. First time playing in front of people in 20 years. Fortunately they have beer there, but i still got through it. Thank god I went to you to straighten me out before attempting it. It would have been a catastrophe I believe if I hadn"t gone to you first.

Once again thanks for the help. If you have any students looking to jam for fun, please feel free to give them my number 610-797-8111 you know about the level I play at so anybody you have that you think would be a good mix with me, I'd appreciate it. Being retired/laid off I have a lot of time now. Unfortunely I won't be able to come back until I get another day job. Hard to justify with the wife and kids, but I'm sure you know how that goes.

Thanks again for the help, and I'll be looking forward to seeing you again. Either watching you play, or having a bourbon.

Tom Joseph
