Hey, clarke, Baby! Thanks so much. It has been a really shitty run. We are very much hoping that getting out of town can bring a little rest. We're both over the COVID. We're picking up Lulu's ashes on the way out of town so we can bury her with her fellows out on the farm in Michigan.

Stevie Ray unfortunately falls victim to something that happens a lot. The blame for some of his fans and his copycat artists fell on him and gets in the way of the music. The dude could play his a** off, and almost by himself revived the blues as a viable commercial genre.
