Hi Patti & everyone. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to
Carlene's show at the Tin Angel. Sunday's can be a bad day for me
to plan ahead for, as I'm often on-call and can get pulled into
work, which is why I didn't buy an advance ticket. Good thing, too,
because I did wind up working. Sounds like a great show. Thanks
for the set list. I would have loved hearing her do the
emotional "Me and the Wildwood Rose." I hope I get another chance
to see Carlene someday. And I'm glad she's in the recording studio!

Thanks again for the reviews.

-Harold :o)
