As the publicist for them, I am going to mail you some new stuff, especially the chili lime salt. Realizing that you are from Tennessee, I hope the next time you have some form of potatoes that you try it on them. Rex,

Don't forget how close our office is to Music Row. Indeed, even closer to one of the major labels. You're not going to be very popular at the lunch counter. But you are right. I hate telling people I like "country" music. Because I like so little of the small slice that's on commercial country radio. I don't know how to give my music a name, in part because I think it's not supposed to have a name, according to the peeps on the Row.
