Ahhh, Highspeed - I can hear Lightnin' Hopkins singing that in my head. It kind of reminds me Mr. Charlie. It's worth the wait through the preamble.

Preamble is great, when Mr Hopkins is talking then I am listening...

Priceless. 100% pure uncut pharmaceutical grade Delta blues.

I don't know why I love the music so much, it was born from a race of people I have no connection with in a country thousands of miles away. But when I heard it for the first time I was hooked. John Lee Hookered maybe :D

We have both kinds of music here, country and western!

I will never forget deplaning in Austin airport on the way to visit CC - they had C&W playing over the tannoys :-)

About time things started working in your favor. Congrats.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Everything that involves Chris seems to have an invisible 'X-TREME' in front of it. :lol:

I have a firm contract offer on a long term contract, that will give me a VERY nice base income... More in six months than I would make in a year at most places...

We're working out the contract details now.

This will allow us to get out of the hole we're in much quicker than we had hoped.
OUTSTANDING!!! :D :D :D :D I hope it all comes through for you (and Mel)!!!
