    Dennis is my neighbor & pickin' buddy for 40 years with his wife Linda. That Mandolin has woods from my ranch --sounds so unique & so cool. Great Tom T Hall tune!!

    I just found AJ Lee and Blue Summit a few days ago and I am hooked! Lucky for me they are playing in Portland Maine on March 14th and I already have a ticket. Love her voice and the entire band is amazing!❤

    Do you read these? I hope so -I want to say - It is all in your vibrato tones - there's a quite a number of great voices out there - but truly not very many lovely ones. A beautiful vibrato is a gift - and it fits with your demeanor so nicely -it is really wonderful when you don't drop your notes - it is this and other combinations that make one want to keep listening - perhaps for hours. I bet you have wondered in the past why people respond to you the way they do - why they feel this way - it is because the whole package is lovely and they are drawn in. Do you recall Karen Carpenter? Her voice had a mysterious tone about it - some said "other worldly" that drew you in - truly unlike any other - the actual sound of your voice is different but it is similar in that it is hard to explain why it is wonderful - the resonate, the quality. I hope you can always be yourself. I wish you the best -

    I loved AJ Lee's voice and the bands rendition of this song immediately. I hope you did this in Europe. I believe AJ Lee together with Sully''s unique old soul low voice should be incorporated into some unique harmonies and alternating leads on some of the old classics along with original material.

    There are so many things to compliment on this song. The way this band performs classic songs in a traditional way is a blessing to me. AJ sings the song perfectly. The mandolin and guitar playing is incredible. I listen to this over and over. Of course, this song is one of many great gifts given to us by Tom T. Hall. I also appreciate the humility of AJ and the band as they use their God given talents.
