If I don't have your CD I can't very well play it. 
Here's an idea: help build a library to house all the CD's! 
Board by board and nail by nail I am working on one now. 
Remember the Little Red Hen; she plowed, planted, weeded, harvested, 
ground the grain, baked and ate alone because no one would help her 
but then they all wanted to eat her bread. I can't be that selfish. 
We will all eat but I could enjoy and benefit from your help. 
Musicians: help me understand who you are and what your music is all about. 
Let me know you are there every six months or so, but not too often, please. 
What's on your mind, brothers and sisters?]

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-Psalm 51-10-13

That we are not who we could be is no reason to stop striving for perfection/completion.

Praise God for hope!

Thanks to KEVIN SANDERS, Station Manager at WUWG, 
for his continuing encouragment and help!

The studio has really been improving lately for lots of reasons
including the skill and creativity of our engineer and his staff: 
Alphonse and that tall movie star character who lives in Opelika.

And thanks to Mike Yuhas and all the hard-working folks at www.folkradio.org
who help the web world know there's still lots of folk music here and there,
scattered around maybe but still very relevant, at least to those of us who
love it.
