Here I am, in Arcadia, Florida, safely parked in Jack's backyard. Thank God and thanks to "y'all" (see? I'm even getting the southern accent!!!...as long as I don't add 'hey' after it) I've got to tell you something: since I left, last January, I stopped here and there, and the best times I've had was when I was at some busnut's place; Ralph, who was a tremendous help, then Howard who helped me a lot too... since then I've stopped at some 'friends' of mine, and got no help whatsoever... help that had been promised for two years, both music wise and bus wise... a big zero (actually, a lot worse than zero)... makes me wonder... and I'm very sad about it. I won't elaborate on the subject, but wanted you to know that I truly appreciate this community for the bonds it creates, and for the spirit that animates all of us 'nuts' messing around with our 'babies'. To Gomer: So sorry I missed you, I did try to call last night and got no answer. I didn't expect to make it so far south that day, but managed to get to Ocala. When I couldn't raise you, cruised on down to the Wildwood truck stop and camped out with the Peterbilts and Freightliners. Pretty okay with me... some guy even asked if I was a movie star (but will probably lose his CDL after his next eye test). Who cares? A girl needs that once in awhile. Anyway, expect I'll see you at the Rally? I sure hope so! I hope I find some work real fast... I would go pick oranges or clean johns if I have to... whatever... music would sure be the best! As I think I mentioned before, the stint in Havelock, NC just killed me. One of the most dreadful experiences of my life. Well, we'll see what happens. At least I'm away from even the tiniest snowflake (for quite awhile I hope  . And I'm happy to FINALLY report a trouble-free trip. Maybe all that work - and all your good advice - is starting to pay off. Your Buddy, Nellie | ||

Congrats Nellie on a safe and trouble free trip to Florida!! Soak up some of that warm sunshine for me... Ohio is starting to get pretty chilly!!! Sorry to hear about your "friend woes." It is pretty amazing how you are able to determine who your "real friends" are during a time of need - no matter how large or small the pickle. Anyway...keep smiling..and keep riding that big ray of sunshine!!!! Josh | ||

Nellie Glad you finally had a trouble free trip. Enjoy the sunshine while we shovel out of 4 feet of snow. More coming but I'm sure you don't want to be reminded of what you are missing. "Y'all" enjoy the southern hospitality. Bill |
