January 25, 2005 - Thanks to Bashful Bob and his Sho Nuff Country Show.  I got an email from Bob of WEVL FM 90. this morning saying how much he liked my record.  He said he has played a cut from it every show since he received it from me.  Tune into his show "Sho Nuff Country on Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on WEVL FM 90.  He has the largest show on the WEVL progamming and he Sho Nuff deserves it. He's keeping the old country alive and the nicest compliment is that he likes my new stuff too!  Thanks again Bashful Bob!  I listen and love your show and always have.

October 18, 2004:  We're Home!  Just returned from a great road trip to North Carolina and Virginia.  Met some great folks along the way and played some great shows.  Want to thank all the good people and musicians in Boone and Blowing Rock, NC.  Jennifer at Grapevine Music and Melissa Reaves, Cafe PortofinoCanyons of Blowing Rock,  Joe & Dale Shelton. Dale Marie Studio  (We've been told that we set a new standard for house parties in Blowing Rock)

Then on to Charlottesville, VA.  Thanks also goes out to the folks at The Baja Bean, Charlottesville, VA and the Dew Drop Inn, Scottsville, VA.  We stopped by and visited with Ann Williams of WNRN 91.9 FM radio. Met a young blues man Eli Cook, check him out.   Unfortunately we headed home early to pay our last respects to our friend and great musician Cordell Jackson "The Rockin' Granny" she will be greatly missed.

October 1, 2004:
I'll be on the radio on WQOX FM 88.5 on Saturday, October 2nd, around 3pm on the  Juke 'n' Jamm Show for their anniversary show with other fine Memphis musicians Cowboy Bob Sawyer, Ric Haworth, Steve Janowick, Guy Venable, Bob Salley, Eric Hughs, and many more... (guess I'll be the only girl there...weeeeeeee)
