May 2006

Hello and thanks once again for visiting smithnjones, and thank you all so very much for your gracious support, hospitality, encouragement and friendship through the year. We have had an amazing year and hope that you all have as well.

So much to talk about! We've had some great adventures, traveled a lot and met so many wonderful people. In the last 12 months we've been to the UK twice and are going back again in September. We had the great good fortune to have met up with a wonderful and loveable agent, Loudon Temple, who has been booking us all over Scotland, not to mention England and Wales. Check him out at www.brookfield-knights.com. He's the best! We spent the month of May there in 2005 and three weeks this last February. Beverly got to go to India for the month of January and, from there, we met up in Heathrow and headed off down the "wrong" side of the road. Carl's getting good at the left hand thing. Life is good.

Last September we were invited to play the Provincial Exhibition in British Columbia. What a treat! It's in Armstrong, B.C. which is where Charlene Woodbury, Beverly's sister who's paintings are featured on our CD covers makes her home. Lots of sheep judging and tractor pulls and, yes, that's Carl in the picture with Miss Rodeo Canada. It doesn't get much better!

We’ll be at Mars Hill and SAMW again this year and we’re going back to Ashokan as well. And, of course, we'll be at Mt Airy and Clifftop. Hope to see you there. No CD release parties for us this year -- we're hoping to get to a new one this winter.

Thanks again. See you this summer.

Peace
Carl and Beverly
