Good Morning Everyone
I had a blast this last weekend. All the practicing, and playing, (eating), was loads of fun.
Where do I begin...
Theo,
How can I express my feelings for you, you are one fabulous
guitar player, singer, song writer (how's that for sucking up?), and most of all a great friend, and it was an honor for me to play with you and John. I really enjoyed the talks we had, and thank you for sharing about the crowd thing. Thank you for stealing my keys so I could go over to Jeff's house.

P.S. Thanks for doing worship Sunday morning, Pam said she was blown away by the awesomeness (is that a word?) of the worship. We both felt the spirit. God Bless you for that.

John
Although this was the first time we met, and we didn't have a whole lot of time to really get to know each other I feel like throwing up...WHAT?!?!?! Ooops I was saving that for someone else. It was really great to meet you, a blast to play with with you, and just to hang out. I'm bummed we did'nt get to play "Red, Whit & Blue", but, maybe next time. Luv Ya Man!

Alex
It was great to really spend a little more quality time with you this time. I really think you oughta move up here. Playing with you was a real joy, and I'll never forget it. It was really enjoyable sitting down stairs with you, Tim, and my wife just sharing. God Bless You!!

Dennis
Even though we didn't get to play a lot together you are a true friend, thank you for all your halp in transporting the guys around. Let's get together, you and your better half and my better half and myself, soon! Luv Ya!

JiMiNy
I sure wish you live down here! I think it would be so much fun to be able to get together with you and the Wogster everyweekend. I love your style of playing, and your sense of humor. We have got to do it again sometime, and SOON! Luv you like brother!

Woggy
You kill me with your sense of humor, and youfloored me with your beautiful voice. When we played Saturday night it was awesome, but when you helped out with worship on Sunday morning, your little fills/adlibs were just phenomenal. You have a wonderful spirit about you.
Let's do it again, and SOON! Luv you like a sister!

Sloan
I know normally you don't go here, but in case you do....You are one solid player/singer and we need to continue doing music. Thanks for being there! Luv Ya!

Dale
You keep me sane! Thanks as always for all you do and did. I love the talks we have about you know what..and It's always a pleaseure to be with you and I treasure our friendship
Thanks for being there and like I told Dennis, let's get together soon,.. with the wives of course. Luv Ya Man!!

Mr. Lars Carlson
The Piano Man, You are so awesome, I always have a GREAT time playing with you, and looking forward to the next opportunity. Luv Ya!

Tom (The Drum Machine)
Thanks for playing, you are incredible...

Cynthia Lange (Tim's Wife)
As usual, above and beyond the call! The food was great, and the amount was perfect.
I think we'll keep you on staff. You are a real treasure.

Tim
As with your wife, above and beyond the call, thanks for being there for the settin' up, and working through the technical times when I was barely treading water. Thanks for your your friendship, it means more than I could ever express. Thanks for your playing, even if you have to ask what the chord progression is. I have only one suggestion for you now...........
TAKE FIVE!!!!!! And not five minutes this time, take five days just to chill, and then call me in the morning. I Luve Ya Man!!!!!

Sir Charles (My favorite son-in-law)
You are awesome, thanks for playing old people rock-n-roll. You keep us all feeling young, and I hope that we, I mean WE WILL do it again sometime (right Lars?). I couldn't ask for a better son-in law! God Bless!!

P.S. Thank you Shannon for letting him play....

Finally...
To my sweetheart, the love of my life, what's her name again?
Pam
How in the world could I ever thank you for everything you do. Thanks for the sound stuff (of course), and beyond that thank you for being there for my ups and downs, and doing your best to keep me humble. I am trully blessed, and will love you forever. I can't wait to start church shopping (Heh, heh, heh)

I hope I didn't forget anyone, if I did I apologize.....

Love You All
Commander

Wes
I hope you realize that the throw up thing was just a joke..I really did mean it for someone else who will remain nameless. (nobody that ever comes here -the board- or ever will, in fact they weren't even at the show, and it was no one anybody that played that night will ever know,)

My wife and I really got a kick out of you with your Southern California drawl (Just kidding, you have no accent).It's always funny when other people talk about MINN-A-SOATIN lingo. We never think aboot it.....But, that's who we are and I guess that's just the way it is don'tcha know....
Luv Ya
Commander
