Hey Everyone!

As you can all see, we are being extremely slack in news of late.  My apologies.

We had mentioned earlier this year that we were in the process of a new CD, and it was to be released mid February.  Well, due to some time consuming circumstances we were unable to finish it.  We are hoping to finish it now before our upcoming tours in New York State.  Jared is also planning to release his solo CD sometime in that time frame as well.  Keep your eyes peeled!

Caleb is going to be entering a mandolin competition in Ohio this weekend.  He wants the $3500 mandolin that comes as the 1st place prize.... :-)  Motivational methods!  He and Papa will be going to Ohio for that.  I hope he wins!

Other than that, we've been working out the kinks and problems with our new sound system.  I'm praying Jared gets less sensitive ears, because he's always turning us down!  And I'll digress before I get started on that!

This weekend is also busy because my grandma will be coming in from Ohio (as a matter of fact, I think I'm driving her back last I heard).  We're excited to have her after she wasn't able to visit for about six or seven years due to my Grandpa's health.  Also, Grandpa Lindsey is missing his family and wants to come down, too.  Then a couple of concerts on Sunday.  Should be an awesome weekend!

Oh!  The bus brakes gave out a couple of weeks ago (right after we got back from Texas) So Ben and Caleb have been at our Diesal Mechanic's place working on it the past week or so.  It looks like it's getting a pretty decent makeover.  The wheels were off of it and things pulled pretty well apart when I saw it this morning.  I never thought that monstrosity could look helpless, but it actually does at the moment....  :-)

Our friend Sara Richardson (for whom we were going to be producing a CD for and it didn't work this time) is well on her way to completing the first project!  How exciting!  her website is www.sararichardsoninfo.co.  Go over and say hi to her!

On that note, I'm off to work.
