Howdy

Tucker was born ... by emergency C-Section ... in the bigest snow storm to hit the Valley in 3 yrs ...

I won't be 'round here much ... gonna be tendin' to my "herd" ...

And practicin' my slant-bar technique

Don't worry, I ain't playin' at the Fest ... Image</font>

Was thinkin' 'bout havin' some workshops, but figured a big ol' party would be more fun ... Image

Aloha

Well, Rick. That knocks my hat in the crick. Gee whiz...what a great family. All of 'em good "joes", er "jo's" too. Those that don't want to pick can hula for diaper boy.

We congratulate you...and let's not forget poor Momma...who carried that little tricycle motor for 9 months (more or less). Our regards to her as well.

You'll soon have enough for a "diverse" softball team.

I know you'll have fun from that big smile on your face.

Congratulations to both of you. The only blessing as neat as being a perent is becoming a grandparent, except that then we are married to a grandma.

Congrats on a healthy baby boy (healthy Mom too)!

Looks like Tucker was "cast" from good stock.

Thanks again, y'all ... Chrissy has really enjoyed seein' all these nice replies.

She said if I put a photo of her up ... like I did with Big Dust ... I was gonna be on "probation" ... Image

After her third "section" ... I know better than to mess with her ... Image

Anyway ... y'all come on down to the Fest ...

Hear some serious Hawaiian Steel Guitar work ...

And enjoy some real "Southern Hospitality" ...

PS: Ron S. ...

Tucker thinks Grace is a real "cutie" ... so he put on his best "outfit" ... hopin' to catch her eye ... Image

Uh Rick...

You gotta tell Tucker to arch his left index finger a bit if he wants to pivot the bar quickly.

His pinky, ring and middle fingers are looking good though. They'll rest on the strings just fine.
