However I do feel we've ceased the rally for you [sic] head today.

You have a sense of what is right, and you have a sense of theatre. You mix humor with grit.
Thank you John. Never underestimate my recognition of your support. And my respect for your guile.
And some day I want to see an ad lib guitar run. You have all the fearlessness of Clapton.
Thank you.
Jes

What else would Mack the Knife do but support those he can trust in!
Begs the question, who should we seek to silence next!?
Onward, to bigger, and better things.
I may have already had a stiff one, it's been a long day, and I get no younger.
