John, I appreciate you saying that! I had a great time on the last 50 States in 50 Days tour at your house. I just wish we hadn't had to roll after the show. Gary, yes, Tommy Allsup, who is 78 years old, and played with Buddy Holly and Bob Wills........told me that he and his dad used to play house concerts in the Great Depression. He said that even though things were tough.....people still want to drink and listen to music. Sometimes that is ALL you can do. Now, i personally think that recession is a state of mind, but while we are in that state of mind............then I might as well be doing music and trying to lift people's spirits. Thanks for the comments. Mary, I will be in Ireland at some point for sure.

I've been bugging him to come back since the second the house concert was over! There's something special about a house concert that you just can't get at a bar or a music hall. It is like having your own personal jukebox with a lot of story telling. Before I ramble on too much, it's just a great time! If you're on the fence, just contact Kevin and give it a try. You can thank me later! For the casual reader just passing through, I can tell you that having Kevin perform at my house was a great experience.
