You've seen many of the same artists as I....I'm a Delbert McClinton freak. Have you been on any of his annual cruises?

If you wish to reply, I have a MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/stagesitter

Hey Carl and Vicki --

I wish! It's our dream to one day do the cruise. Seems like endless fun.

We've only seen Delbert once at the Santa Cruz Blues Festival. He rocked, had the whole audience dancing, even though dancing isn't allowed.

Tried to respond to your myspace, but it wouldn't let me. Hope you come back here.

Cheers!
Cathy
