TED Ferrell

To All Of You;

Thank you all so very much for your heart felt words to Moon Girl and me. It means a lot to both of us

because we did find each other here on Grease Spot.

For way too many years I have traveled alone and lonely I prayed to God that there must be a special someone out there for me. So when the time was right He has bleesed my life with a treasure that is far beyond measure. Moon Girl is more than I ever hoped and dreamed my love would be..I am so very thankful to God that He has brought us together.

We will keep you all updated as to when and where we shall take our vows to become as one flesh.

God Bless All Of You

Thankful To God I Am

Ted

Moony Happy Joyous Birthday To You:

From my heart to yours I wish and pray for you to have a lovely day filled with love and caring from the ones that love you. And dear one you are so loved by many, May all your hopes and dreams come true.

See ya!

God Bless Your Tender Heart

Ted

Kathy

My goodness!! one more time I am going to tell you that you do have a great voice .You have a tender sweet easy sound that many a female singer would like to have. I have recorded you many times and because of of how you sing and deliver a song lyric makes you one of the best.To this day I stiil love to listen to ya! You know how I gave songs to you some you did not care for too much. But you gave them your best shot and that makes you a trouper So back of girl I know what I'm talking about and it's not beacuse you are my friend.You do not try to copy anyone else you sing from your heart and it comes across.So there chew on that for awile.

This brings up a subject that I hope others of you will join in on. Most popular artists be it singers or

musicians have their own unique sound.Once you hear them the next time around you will know who they

are. Many who become famous do not have the greatest voices in the world or are the finest of all

musicians. Off hand I came name a few that come to my mind.In the country field we have Willie Nelson,

Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash (that bless his heart sang off key sometimes) In the pop side of the coin .there is Rod Stewart.Mic Jagger.Neil Diamond ,Bette Midler The Beatles,Bob Dylan and yes even Elvis.I could go on and on in this field.

The jazz greats that had their own sound.Louis Armstring.Dinah Washington ,Loius Prima Al Hirt,just to name a few.

And Rick in the blues style I am sure you can add to this list so I will leave that one up to you.

A smart record producer is always on the lookout for one thing, does that artist have a sound that is llike no one else and can they get their message across The rest is icing on the cake

.

Moony now don't you think for one minute you are going to be a shower singer all of your life,Hey shower stalls makes for great reverb.So someday I will give a listen ( not in the shower with you but at a distance )

of course) and who knows you just might be better than you think you are.

.

Hey Rick now that's a good happy blues tune. Thanks for sharing .

And ny friend you are just being modest about your fine as wine playing cause I've heard you and you are darn good. .Far as having fun playing music that's what is all about.When it stops being fun then it's time to put the axe in the closet.And I don't think we are going to go that route.

Ain't that right Kathy and you keep on singing too you hear me!!! .Rick and I would be proud to be in your band.hmmm1 lets see now what would we call your band how about Kathy and The Chatty Boys Hey that will work..

.

Kathy.. I sure do know you like the blues and your man Eric Clapton .Why not tell us some of your other favorite blues arists and why . It wold be a good read. And say hows Bluzeman doing these days? Now folks there is a good paid my dues blues man be it 12 or 16 bars of wailing.

Monny me worried nah! not me just shaking in my boots that's all ..I'm All Shook Up

gc

Should you have lost the CD'S I sent you let me know and I will replace them for ya!

God Bless Your Heart

Moony you been reading my mail or what? The only thing differnt about being in The Stete Of Confusion is being out of it.And you know something moon girl think I may have found some help and as you know good help is hard to find these days.

Quick as I know something about the work at hand you will be the first to know.I will send you a PT

Have another cup of coffee and soon all this will make some sense

Sorry if you have felt neglected but I will do better.You are a good lady and I like reading what you write.

Moony

Yeah I'm still here well kinda' Sorry that i have neglected you all. Been working on a project with someone that takes up a bunch of my time but it's all well worth it. Quick as I can will tell you all about it. I think it will bless you cause it sure has and does me.

Meanwhile back at the ranch perhaps some of you would like to share some of your poetry or songs that you have put together.I would very much like to read and so would others.

Gotta' go now cause I have a phone call or two I need to make and some new tunes to write.

Have Fun Everyone

Ted

Kathy;

There is one special quality you have that few in

this world have.It's called heart And to be quite honest with you I would rather hear you sing more so than all of the so called greats.

I do not consider myself to be a great singer or musician and if I had listened to some folks I would have hung it up long ago.But can't and will not do that. Long as I can crawl upon the band stand by God's mercy and grace I shall do so.

When a song is in our hearts regardless of what we or others may think or say.We need to let that song be heard And Kathy for sure you are dong that and I'm so thankful you are.

There is a song Karen C.sang many years ago called Sing A Song and that's the name of that tune.

Chatty K.

Love it love it that bluzeman put your song on for all to hear.

See I told you stick with me kid and I will make you a star sign here______________________________

hahahahahahaha

White Dove Bob Dylan is a great artist Most all his songs I dig. Love Minus Zero one of my favorites.

Thanks for posting that's a good one Do you recall the album that's from?

David is dong what this song is about. Keep rockin'David

Bob Dylan is not an easy read when you just look at his lyrics.

Later on tonight perhapss I can do some edit.work on meter for lines and get this baby ready for the music tracks

Yeah Belle you are hired. Mint Juleps sure would add to the mix.

David my man you just put the finishing touches to our first grease band tune.Very good indeed Proud of ya!

Moony Dallas in the summer and Duluth in the winter is snow bird lingo. They don't like the heat and they don't like the cold So they come see you five or six months each year.

Do you have a room for rent starting in Nov.through April ?

Boy moony you sure don't like the cold tundra eh!

While on the road playing for many a year our agent told ud he would keep us busy both in the south and north.The only thing he did not tell us about what he meant was Dallas in the summer and Duluth in the winter.

I think there might be another song there what say Grease Band.

Nancy Mesquite (Skips wife) has been emailing me now and than.And she sent me this info about something she is involved with .Although she does not post but drops by from time to time. She told me if I wanted to post the info it would be fine with her.

I don't know much about it but any of you that have chidren, you may want to check it out.Addy at bottom of post

Skip and Nancy are doing great and are grandparents of two lovely grand children.

They sent me a picture and I could tell by the looks on their faces they were proud as could be holding the grandkids. My oh my how the years do go by.

God Bless

Some may wonder why we're happy for all of the bad loosing

As we live freely we see removal of the painful bruising

Not only removal but healing of the bruising we do the choosin'

Thanks all of you for your prayers,

Christine is still in a lot of pain and has too much swelling so she is unable to rest well.

Greg told me the DR'S sent here home with the wrong medication and that's why it's taken so long for her healing process.

Please keep praying
