Dec 12, 2007I'm from St. Joe and I think I saw you do this song in Parkville, Mo. Was that you? Think it was. I liked it then and I like it now. Disabled people need a great deal of understanding. Thanks for painting a great picture of Lucas.

Apr 11, 2008Hey Larry Garrett. I finally found this place you told me about. Like your song a great deal. I've got a cousin who could have been like Lucas, but thank God he's still here and doing well.
Bet you don't remember me from JohnnyCash.com...do you?
