[New 12 String Mike]

Bill,

Nice report. Thanks for being open on the rough start. Fans will cut him slack, but we are also cautious and concerned. I'm glad you had a very good experience.

Don't sweat the small airplane stuff. As a private pilot, with plenty of time in small aircraft flying and photo shooting, they don't fall out of the sky as often as the news media makes out. Of course we know the history of performers and small planes, so there's always that, but if one thinks of all the flights that are conducted safely, that we never hear about, the odds are good. Besides I used to work in the news media, WDBJ-TV in fact, so I do know something of that too.

Anyway, glad it was a good show. Also I was glad to hear the theater is in good shape. My late father-in-law used to run the place.

Maybe we Virginian fans can connect some time.
