@Ray Wylie Hubbard🎶 you are definitely one of my favorites. I used to be a top fan and for some reason I lost that status. It may be because I've been a little busy in my own personal life but it sure isn't because I have less of an interest in your music. Sometimes when we're busy with our own lives we just don't get to enjoy some of the things that we do enjoy as often . A few months back I got to see you at the Lafayette room in Memphis we both had a little trouble getting across the bridge that night. Right I myself now than I am in my sixties understand that we slow down a little bit. But I would rather come see you at any show where it is quality and you are yourself then you try to book too many just to please the masses. I know my friend it's all about black and red ink. Sadly that's what makes the world go round. But your music has a wisdom to it they cannot be purchased by the dollar. Don't get me wrong I have your shirts, your CDs and a book of a life they all written ( that you personally signed when they were sold out and you had it on stage with you one night. ) In my opinion if a fan doesn't support you merchandise-wise they're not truly a real true fan. You got to make a living. Hell I know you're doing all right these days but there was a lot of days when you paid your dues that you didn't get a check wrote. Anyway all I'm trying to say is I considered an honor anytime I have a response from you even if it's just part of your group or you yourself not using capital letters. I try to keep my gratitude higher than my expectations. I don't know where in the world I learned that from 😉. Always your fan .. Rory Chance Small ... rorystime@gmail.com.

Somehow that sounds like the words to a Ray Wylie Hubbard song.
