My copy arrived Saturday the 26th.  Fabulously inviting cover.  I gobbled the book up immediately.  Well done.  Brought me back to my family farming roots, and exposed me to Minnesota.  A wonderful blend of autobiography and Butterhead-ness.  And I love the poems at the end of the book - perfect co...

Thanks for your comments, Jackie.  I'm glad you liked the tunes, and some of my ramblings.

It was wonderful to see you on Thursday's Zoom with Marc Woodward.  He was wonderful and so polished and seemingly at ease.  I could have listened for hours.

Be well.
