This Note Just In From Olga

mmmK. So is anyone out there hiding indoors like me? I haven't even opened the door. I probably won't open the door. Perhaps I will not open the door again for the next few days, cause I am afraid to go outside in this HEAT. Help me, Rhonda. Or rather, help US!!But weather aside, a quick note for y'all out there who are working on the computer today instead of the yard, I'll be playing two shows on Saturday, July 22nd first at the Memphis Farmers Market from 11-1pm downtown, then later at Borders Books & Music in Germantown at 7pm. I am including the Borders info below, case you wanna check it out. Also, there is a big article in the Memphis Downtowner about my new music video shot by Mike McCarthy. It features some great pics form the shoot and an interview with me and Mike.
