We met on Valentines Day, 3 years ago today

Some people are just lucky, I am one of them.

I met Iska 3 years ago today at a party after a concert I did at the Monteagle Winery. It was a 'practice concert' to prepare me for a 6 concert tour of the southeast.

The photo is from our first date, a warm late winter day on Raven Point, over looking the Firey Gizzard Gorge.
