Thanks to a friend(Joey Harris, a former Beat Farmer) I had the honor to meet Joey's Uncle Nick and his mentor John Stewart. Nick was a sweetie in a manly way...John was as I remember a quiet man; seemed so very stoic and proud.
We really need you up here for the fiddlers championships in Thermopolis WY.
The guy heading it up is Ed Capin from Worland., and he requests me of doing this this song every time we have jam sessions, which I'm damn glad to oblige.
Ed was there in Boston at the time this happened.
We need to use him in a performance, and him tell the real story of MTA, which is true.
I ask you guys for your help.
But we need you guys to come, even for just a jam session.
I really miss Nicky. Our family grew up together in Coronado, with Nicky's mother (Aunt Jane) and father (Uncle Stu) moving to Alpine during the WWII years as we joined them. Nicky started out by playing the ukelele and singing with his sisters, Janey and Barbara. Lots of good stories to tell about livng in Coronado, Jim.

WOW! What an honor to be on the same stage w/John & Nick. John's era w/the KT was my favorite, IMO.
