Hey thanks Storm for filling us in on your whereabouts, and best to 
you and your Johnny Cash obsessed wife :) Sounds like things are 
going well for you! School, work, home, and then add a bunch of 
exercise training to that, Wow! Seems like you are balancing out 
things nicely :) So when will you be going to be performing at the 
Grand Ol Opry eh? LOL... Enjoy singing in the truck! Good Vibes 
there :)
Unfortunately, I destroyed my previous computer speakers (I think 
they were cheapies anyway...) so I can't listen to this link to see 
if it is good or not.. but incase you want to hear other versions of 
the classic John Henry legend, incidentally a nice "scenario" for a 

SG session.. This seems to be a nice link to various artists covers 
of John Henry...
It has a bunch of guys I love, namely Doc Watson, Big Bill Broonzy, 
Mississippi John Hurt, Bill Monroe and of course
Leadbelly, the originator of it all....
Love all that "old timey" music...
Thanks for sending the article again. Have a good weekend :)
Peace,
Deb
