It has been a normal Oklahoma Spring. Nice cool sprinkled with a few strong storms. Prayers for those that suffered damage from the winds and flooding. Prayers for the families in the Shady Point/Calhoun area that lost houses. On another note, I am prepared for the hot Summer ahead. The garden has really done well, just needs a lil’ sunshine. Hope to be eating homegrown ‘maters soon. Comin’ home after 3 weeks touring in Germany, “Chaotic Resemblance” had a successful and uplifting trip. It’s an opportunity to sing and play their music with a message to all them heathens in middle Europe. Love the music and musicians. They are a blessing.
I am still excited about “Hillbilly Vegas” new album and their tour of England and the Emerald Isles that starts in July. They are locked away rehearsing for this journey. Safe travels and a successful album release. It will be released in the States soon.

Dawn’s Diner/Red Oak has survived several Mother Nature disasters. Always country tough enough to stay open and serving one of the best meals in the county. Frozen pipes- loss of power- heavy rains and now, after 6 inches of rain and severe thunderstorms, Flooding. Cleanup is finished.. Mostly just the new dance hall section and food and music will be back on track after Memorial day. Sending all the love I can. You folks send them some business.
