Wishing you a Very Happy Birthday Robert. Have a blessed day.

Sorry I’m so late, but, didn’t want to miss wishing you a blessed Happy Birthday Robert. Hope it was an awesome day.

Hi Robert - I noticed you enjoy doing some covers of Merle Haggard. That's great. Have you ever thought of posting any of your singing on YouTube? I know everyone would enjoy seeing it. If you like Merle, you should check out a few videos: One is from his "Bluegrass Sessions" recorded in a small studio with a few guys sitting in, including Marty Stuart on mandolin. ("Holding Things Together") Another video is a great version of "Lonesome Fugitive" done by Marcus King and Billy Strings, two fantastic young players. Also, have you ever checked out any songs from the late Texas singer-songwriter Blaze Foley? Watch him singing "Clay Pigeons" while he's out on his back porch. Real down-home stuff. And finally, for some real good pickin' check out Leo Kottke, Doc Watson and Chet Atkins in a wonderful impromptu get-together performing "Last Stream Engine Train"

Robert, pray you have a blessed Happy Birthday today. Enjoy your day. I remember you from school. I was shy too. It’s ok. We all mature at a different rate. I came out of my shell when I worked for the fire dept in the Woodlands and taught elementary kids about fire safety. When you learn to talk to kids and men, it just gets easier.
