Long time fan, both of D&D and your solo stuff! Missed you last summer in Chicago as I was recovering from back surgery and I've been told that you're not supposed to mix alcohol and percodan! But, I got the New Folk Underground when it came out and listen to it constantly.

I'm a high school teacher (and amateur guitarist/songwriter) and long time guitar pick collector who has been desperately trying to find the few remaining picks from the musicians I truly admire. You two have been at the top of my list for a long, long time. After seeing your amazing show in Chicago in '86, I remember thinking how cool it would be if I was a rhythm guitarist in the band and we could change the band's name to David 3 (cubed)!

Been searching for an address to write to you and David Ricketts for years. To my knowledge, you've never had custom picks, but I would still be honored to have a pick you've used. Or, maybe I could send you a bigger pick and you and Dave could sign it and send it back which I would frame with that '86 ticket stub!

Hope your summer is a restful and productive one. Peace.
