If you cant make it, I would love to have you sign a copy of my CD. I am 31 and love your music. I heard your music when I was 8 and I am 31 now. I used to listen to polksalad and finaly got to hear rainy night in Georgia when I was 16. My parents would not let me listen because it had pussy in it. Love your music it is great. Come catch some fish and play the "gitar" on the lake with us. I would love to have you come down and catch some crapie on some yo yo’s at lake Village Arkansas on our anual fishing trip.

Both of those are great albums, if you actually take the time to listen. My list would also include My Morning Jacket, Beck, Cyndi Lauper, Coldplay, Box Scaggs, The Racontuers, Randy Newman and REM.
