As an entertainer for 48 years I had to stop and listen to you today. Glad to see you are visting our Northwest region. You are impressive and besides we both see the talent of Kathy Mattea. It's hard to find someone who is unique as well as talented. Hope you enjoy your gig in Sandpoint. By the way have you heard John Kelly at Arlo next door.
