Ty Mr. Jonathon. I met you last year at Lil's coffee shop. I live in Paris, I'm a artist, carpenter, and writer among other things. A long time fan of this show and all it represents.
This celebration of acoustic music is what fills my soul

Loved the Dirt band since they first came into their own on the music scene! Jeff Hannah had a helluva voice! As did Jimmy Ibbotson! Awesome, absolutely awesome!

Sure miss Jimmy being in the band. They still sound great. Just miss his contribution.
