NEWSLETTER ARCHIVE
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away I knew a real nice girl who was blessed with a real nice pair of
Hee Haw® bib overalls when she was a child, or so she claimed. Late one summer night, as we huddled
together under horse blankets sipping vintage port and stargazing on the deck of some unchristened tramp
steamer crossing the Gulf of Alaska, waiting for the Northern Lights to emerge, she described the overalls
to me in great detail -stiff blue denim, covered in grotesquely colorful cartoon-ish caricatures of bucktoothed
mules wearing raggedy straw hats, crazed white space ducks, gargantuan zombie chickens, ETC.
In the 15 years that have passed since I first heard tell of this fabled garment I have uncovered no evidence
that would suggest that the Liberty Trouser Company ever made these overalls in adult sizes, but if you happen
to have a men's size XL pair laying around up in the attic or down in the cellar, please do let me know.
Speaking of The Waybacks, the new CD LOADED is still hanging tough on the Americana Radio Chart.
Back up to #9 this week. We have somehow climbed to the #4 spot on the BILLBOARD bluegrass chart,
a surrealistic occurrence which we don't even pretend to understand, but for which we are certainly grateful...
Because we miss y'all so much, we're going back out on tour tonight!
We sure hope you can join us somewhere en route. Mark your calendars. Tell your friends!
