Hey there Henry, how's the 08' tour going? I only had the privilege of seeing the Outlaws play twice; the first was back in the mid eighties when you guys opened for 'Tucker here in Manitoba at a music festival called The Beaver Dam Lake Jamboree. The second was last August in Sturgis at Rock N' The Rally. I missed most of the set, but arrived in time to hear once more the magic that Hughie could draw from his Strat. You may remember playing a bar here in Brandon called the 40 with Blackhawk a while back [think it was about February of 06'???] There are lots of die hard Outlaws fans in Manitoba who would travel to the ends of the earth to see you guys again. Why don't you talk to Heidi at the Trails West [The 40] and see if there is a slot in your tour that you would have time to sneak across the border into Canada?

Henry,

I know that Blackhawk does "meet & greets" as part of their fan club.

Any chance of the Outlaws doing meet & greets on this tour?

Thanks,

Hank,

Thanks for taking a minute to talk over the fence. It was a very good show. Thanks also for getting the "Cigar City Madman" back on the road. His energy must be a great tonic for the somber moments of this tour. Hitting the high A on Ghost Riders--you amaze me. You are proof that it really pays to take care of yourself.

I also appreciate the wisdom in not paying attention to the small number (as you pointed out) of naysayers.

Quite a few years ago I heard "Wheels" for the first time and thought "could that be the Outlaws?" The guitar riff, the vocal blend, had the vibe. Of course it was Restless Heart, but my point is, it could have been the Outlaws. It would be quite a feat to put the Outlaws in the ears of a new generation.

As I told you, seeing the Outlaws at the Bayfront in 1974 was a unique musical experience, but I don't come out to try and relive the past. I bought the HPB albums and the Blackhawk CDs. If you put out some new Outlaws materiel, I'll listen.

Thanks again for giving me something worth listening to,

Jack White

Henry, Just a quick question. I just bought the Henry Paul Band Grey Ghost Tour T-shirt from your website. It lists the cities on the back. It lists Minneapolis as a tour stop. I live there. Can you tell me which venue the HPB played there in 1979? Looking forward to, hopefully, an Outlaws/Blackhawk gig at the Medina. Maybe even both bands one night each?

Thanks for your help, love your new website...
