Herb put on a clinic, explaining his A6 logic. And, he played some real classic standards. A funny story that he got a $4.00 royalty check for Boot Hill Drag.

We missed the Victoria Flash, Randy Boyd, David H., Lee, Brandon O. Where were you guys? Bobby Keith, hope you are feeling better. David Waters, we could have used you too. John, hope you'all had a good time with the grandbaby.
The trouble with listing names is the ones you forget. If I did, it was unintentional.
