Greetings, Edheads On-line

Coming off a wonderful Midwest roadtrip (MI, WI & MN) we want to thank all who attended our most ambitious tour since early December. Hopefully Julie's upcoming journal entry will fill everybody in on the heavenly experience that is the Norske Nook in Osseo, WI. She has a pretty significant bday coming up on April 24.

Our big news on the horizon is that our beloved hometown Summer shed, Wolf Trap, will be having us back Thursday, August 17.
Keep abreast of advance ticket sales and details at http://www.wolf-trap.com.

This month we're looking forward to one of our favorite stops -- The Lone Star State. First, we'll have a two-show night at the Mucky Duck in Houston (always best to secure advance tix), and then we return for the second year in a row to the wonderful Old Settler's Music Festival outside of Austin with great acts like Keller Williams and Del McCoury.
