    Dewayne, My favorite song. of yours is Chowchilla Dust. I miss the Levee House days in Marysville california when I would sing The Rose. I had a big crush on you at that time and the night we walked out to the parking lot and you kissed me , my heart just melted. I have listened to your songs with fhoughts of those day and a smile on my face. I am happy to hear that you are home and loving Mexico. I would love to hear from you. I am on facebook (Viola Wilkey in Olivehurst Ca ) I now you are busy but I pray you can make the time to say hello. I will remember you always.
