Nice to have you back on line OD. I didn't know there was a place to eat at Stewart. Maybe check that out when I'm there. I didn't know anything was left in Stewart except a gas station going east. Looks like I'm delivering the lead guitarist for the Hoedown. Hayden and Nancy are flying here and driving out with me. Nancy has never the country between here and there. They aren't staying long in Miss., flying out of Jackson 6/22 heading back to Alaska. Also heard from Toad and Peggy. They were in Kilmichael area, heading to Memphis today and to Ark. They plan to be at the Hoedown. I don't know if any of his group will join us. Al from Phoenix is set to be there, flying in and out of Jackson this time, so nobody has to run to Memphis to pick him up this time. Jim from Jackson is ready to play too. I haven't heard from the other guitar player, Adrian from Jackson or the drummer, Mickey, from Ark. More phone calls!! Hope to see you all soon...............
