Hey CrocBite. Met a friend of yours, Cory I think her name was, at the Clifftop festival. She mentioned you when she saw my CB fiddle. I told her I was familiar with your work. I kind of laughed when she said that you asked if it was Diane. She's someone I've learned a lot from at this site!

BTW, I do more networking over here: http://facebook.com/cigarboxguitar
