CONGRATULATIONS! A beautiful website; one you have every right to be proud of. Not a bad looking g'tar picker either.

Cool! My favorite quote from the bio:

Please grow the big hair again.

Thanks all.
Dave Ross is not a blood relation, simply a musical one. We just have the same last name.
The new website is accomplishing everything I hoped for. CD sales are great! Last time I looked the uke CD's sold less than a million copies!

Todd,
Every musician should play at least one "chicken wire" gig in their lives.
The pix was from some county fair way up in northern Wisconsin.
My girlfriend (now my wife) used to cut my hair for me. She would grab a handfull and cut off a bit and then tie it off with a twist-tie to designate that area as being "harvested". If she made a mistake, all I had to do was fluff it up until it was even.
I used to drive a compact car with a very low ceiling. Sitting in the driver's seat would give me a "flat-top".
