Another Christmas and another year passes. I want to wish all my fans friends and family joyous hollidays and a safe and Happy New Year.

Things are fine hear at the homeplace. I am many chapters into my latest book. A word of warning to all you aspiring authors of prose, poetry and song. Save your work someplace besides your computer!!! My hard drive crashed when I was 45 chapters into my book. They couldn’t even save it at the lab! Then after I had started over and was three chapters along I remembered saving some of it on CD. I dug it out and found the first 35 chapters!! Still in all it was a good lesson. I now place each days work on a ’stick’ as well as backing it up on the computer.

Have had much fun doing some shows this past year and looking forward to more in 08′. For now, the wood shed is full, the mules got hay, and I got no reasn to complain.   Till next time……Butch
