(An e-mail from the great Cary Swinney:)

Shayne,
I've gotta tell ya, it takes some balls on your part to play Dawson
County ... especially during these particular times. On the other hand, as
you said, it's good to hear that there are people out there who'll give a
song a chance.
Some woman called with a House Concert series from around College Station.
She's wanting me and and a guy named Walt Wilkins to do a show. I don't know
exactly how far from your area that is, but I may drop you a line prior to
the show. You never know....some folks from your world might want to check it
out.

Shayne, we've got to meet somewhere...someday. I mean, honestly, there aren't
many like you out there in the state of Texas. I've gotten some decent
airplay out of that song elsewhere...but to my knowledge, not so much out of
Texas. Thank You. I appreciate it...very much.
I'll "talk" to you later.
Cary
