Hey Dan, I kvama has larryfest 2008 listed. Is there going to be anything going on to help out getting the grounds fixed up or any sort of fund raiser happening?

Hi, Dan.

Just a quick note to let you know that seven of your biggest fans are going to be in LaCrosse on December 15 and 16. Any chance you might be playing somewhere in the area on either of these nights?

If not, could you please go ahead and book something . . . .

Hope you and Mary are doing well.

Pat
