Hello to all of you and this is about saying thanks. I moved here to Denver Colorado in June of 2014 to help out my best friend, of what will be 30 years next month (Sept 13th, 1991). I had nothing going for me in Dayton, Ohio then and figured if I ever did have to stand before Saint Peter and explain why I didn't get up and move when my buddy needed me, I might as well not bother getting up at all. He's doing fine now, and as friends are want to do, we both look out for each other and hang out seems like nearly every other day. He's the one who stumbled on 'Rocketman' and sent me the link. I never could have seen the 4 years of homelessness coming that I encountered here. Zeeky couldn't help me in that, and I was just too daft to understand that even working full time/overtime I would be stuck in the men's shelters trying to prop my own spirits up amongst so many disenfranchised souls and so much negativity. That's where you fellows came in. Laying in my bunk at night surrounded by 280 other men, listening to everything YouTube had to offer on Iron Horse, among some notable others, like Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Rufus Du Sol, Portugal, Nathaniel Rateliff, Iris DeMent, etc. etc., please trust me when I say you guys reminded me of the better part of my Paintsville Kentucky birthplace, my great uncle Hylo Brown, and fueled my head with songs to sing at work everyday. As Willie Nelson puts it, "I didn't come here and I sure as hell ain't leaving", but times got hard enough to understand a mans wanting to, and you were one of the very small but most significant things that helped me get by. So THANK YOU. Just a few more quick things. You're the only reason I know more Metallica lyrics than most Metallica fans seem to. It's true! LMAO! And like probably too many other Iron Horse fans I have a request. Have you ever thought about covering Michael Kiwanukas' 'Love and Hate', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMZ4QL0orw0&list=RDaMZ4QL0orw0&start_radio=1 Portugals 'Feel It Still' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Btj3smjIK0M&list=RDaMZ4QL0orw0&index=2 , or The Black Pumas 'Colors' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G383538qzQ I love your original stuff and I admire that you do covers immensely because those covers have brought some of my severely bluegrass challenged friends to your doorstep and introduced them to this high art that is uniquely American and indispensable. Boys, THANK YOU AGAIN. For being. For acknowledging your talents and doing something with them, and being the Bluegrass Kung-Fu Masters of your craft that each and all of you are. Sincerely, Bunny Edelstein (the artist formerly known as 'Lil Fu Fu') Love and Peace upon your houses
