Happy birthday, mine is also 8/31, what are the odds. 1/365 they say!

See you at Okoboji, I am not attending but my wife is Kitty Sheehan. I am an interested observer.

Thank you for keeping it on your radar David. I enjoyed spending a few days in Okoboji. Next time, maybe we can grab coffee.

Very nice article. Thanks for your focus on Mark Lage. He’s a wonderful guy, a true artist, and a hard-core music fan. I highly recommend his lovely photo collection “Iowa Musicianship.”
