BIG DADDY ENTERPRISES

RT. 1, BOX 1 - OLD WASTEWATER RD.

PORT GIBSON, MS. 39333

TO ALL MY LOYAL FANS, OR ANYONE WHO MAY FIND THIS IN A GARBAGE CAN:

THIS LETTER'S COMING TO YOU FROM POOLSIDE AT THE BIG DADDY RESORT LODGE

AT THE BIG DADDY ENTERPRISES COMPLEX, RIGHT OUTSIDE PORT GIBSON, MS, JUST

DOWNSTREAM FROM THE GRAND GULF NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, SITTIN' RIGHT ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT'S JUST GETTIN' NEAR DARK, AND FROM WHERE I'M SITTIN', YOU CAN

SEE THE WARM GLOW OF PHOSPHORESCENCE THROUGH THE SMOKE OVER THE RIVER, ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO

WHAT USED TO BE NEW ORLEANS. AS THE SUN SETS. I'M HERE TO TELL YOU, THAT ALONG WITH THE SOUND OF

THE CONTENTED CHICKENS BEING PAMPERED OVER TO THE BIG DADDY'S FRIED CHICKEN

PROCESSING PLANT, I NEVER BEEN CLOSER TO HEAVEN THAN I'M IS RAT NOW.

NOW, I LOVE BEIN' ON STAGE, I LOVE TRAVELIN' ROUND THE WORLD AND MEETIN' ALL YOU GOOD

PEOPLE, AND I LOVE MAKIN' ALL THAT EZ MONEY DOIN' WHAT I LOVE TO DO, BUT THERE AIN'T

NOTHIN' QUITE LIKE SIPPIN' A LITTLE LEMONADE IN THE SHADE BY THE POOL ON A SUMMER DAY.

WHEN YOU GET TO BE MY AGE, THE SMALL PLEASURES IS WHAT I LOOK FORWARD TO.

I JUST WANTED TO DROP YOU A FEW LINES TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE STILL LOVE ALL OF YOU,

WE THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME, WE HOPE YOU WILL LET US HEAR FROM YOU AND ALSO

HOPE YOU WILL COME SEE US WHEN WE'RE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE LIKE TO HAVE AS

MANY OF OUR FRIENDS WITH US AS WE CAN ALL THE TIME, 'CAUSE THEN IT SEEMS MORE LIKE A

FAMILY REUNION THAN A JOB. THESE DAYS, WHERE WOULD A MAN BE WITHOUT HIS FRIENDS?

ALL THE BOYS, SMOKESTACK, THE PROFESSOR, NIGHTTRAIN, AND ESPECIALLY THAT LIGHTNIN'

BOY, BEEN ASKING AFTER HOW YOU WAS DOING, AND IF I HAD HEARD FROM OR SEEN YOU

LATELY. ALL OUR FRIENDS BEEN TALKIN', AND THEY SAY WE'RE SOME KIND OF

PHENOMENON AROUND WHERE MUSIC'S BEIN SPOKEN OF AND PLAYED. I DON'T REALLY KNOW

MUCH ABOUT THAT, BUT IF THERE IS ANYTHIN' TO IT, I THINK THAT STEADA BEIN' ABOUT TALENT

OR ABILITY, IT'S GOT MORE TO DO WITH THE TIES WE HAVE WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO COME

SEE US, CUT UP WITH US, AND MAKE IT MORE LIKE A FAMILY. WE'RE JUST PLAIN OL' BLUES BOYS;

WE DRESS UP FUNNY, WE PLAY AROUND WITH THE FOLKS AN ACT THE FOOL, BUT WE JUST TRY

TO HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH OURSELFS. IT AIN'T NEARLY AS SERIOUS AS SOME PEOPLE MAKE IT

OUT TO BE, AND IF WE EVER GET LIKE THAT, IT WON'T BE FUN ANY MORE.

WELL, I BETTER GET AWAY FROM HERE AN GET SUPPER STARTED. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU

KNOW WHAT WE WAS UP TO, AND WHERE WE'D BE SO WE COULD SEE YOU AGAIN. . I HOPE YOU

WILL TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO COME SEE US TOO. WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU IF YOU GET

TIME. JUST DROP US A LINE THROUGH THE E-MAIL LINK. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU, AN

WE THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME.

HUGS & KISSES, BIGDADDY MICHAEL BLUE
