To all visitors to my website in the last several months: We have been experiencing difficulties accessing the host server for updates since early February.

Worse than that was an unresolved problem with several of the email forms on the site. As a result, we were not receiving email queries generated by the Booking Form until now. We are trying to reconstruct the lost information and call everyone who had left a message. I sincerely apologize if this delay has caused anyone difficulty or disappointment. If you wish to resubmit your query, please do so and I will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

I thank you for your patience. I'm not a techie kind of guy, just a fiddle player, and I value my friends and fans too much to toss this off lightly. Once again, if you've recently tried to get in touch with me using the Booking Form, please try again.

Best to you all,
Jim Graseck
