Hey Ron, I am so pumped to see that you are going to be on the road this summer. And the lineup sounds fantastic.

I'm wondering how we go about getting you guys to the Harrisburg, PA area. There certainly are no shortages of fans or venues in the area. I'm sure my nearby friends on this board would agree.

I'm just itchin' so much to see this and would love to see you guys around here. Have you inquired or do you have any suggestions on how we could bring the acoustic outcasts to town?

And thanks for all you're doing to keep the music and passion alive! I think all of us here really appreciate that!

Hi Craig - I'd love to get busy in the Northeast, PA, NY, NJ etc are all excellent markets for me/us and I know this show would do well in those areas. The tour was actually supposed to play that region first, but when dates and personnel got shuffled around we had to back off.

It's just a matter of time - and time is something I'm going to need more of, as 2005 flies by...My window of availability is closing rapidly: I have 2 weeks with the Acoustic Outcasts tour, then 2 weeks with IronHorse, and a week off, which takes us to September. We are planning to schedule 6 weeks' worth of Acoustic Outasts dates in September/October - the first dates that are coming in are from California to Texas, but there's a chance we can squeeze in a couple of weeks in the Northeast during that time frame.

I'll need another week off after all that, which will find me back in LA for the 'Rock 4Xmas' rehearsals, and then off on that tour which will take us up to Christmas. Then I have high hopes for IronHorse touring Europe in early '06, and after that who knows. Of course it's the music business, and anything can happen.

Thanks for your enthusiasm and support - and keep in mind, even if you can't make it to any of these initial Acoustic Outcasts shows, we'll have a live DVD available for release very soon, which we're filming at the Nashville show on the 28th.
