November 1 - Message from Ron:
Hello
everyone, It's a great feeling to be touring our "home and native
land" after so many months of globetrotting. The shows have gone real well
(except for Saskatoon which I need to work on) I'm gonna be Gordon Lightfoot
someday! Anyway, looking forward to getting back in the studioagain, I've been
writing loads and hoping to start early 2000. So, Iguess that's all for now.
Thanks for listening.
Love, Ron Sexsmith

September 14 - Message from Ron:
Hello everyone, I'm writing to you now from Sydney Australia. We all had a
wonderful time in Japan and I think the shows came off quite well.(Although
Karoke made my voice a bit weak for the first Tokyo show, sorry! ) I'm looking
forward to the Australian dates, just me myself and I.
All the best, Ron XO

July 16 - Message from Ron:
Hello
everyone. We're having a great time in the UK, the shows have all been very
different in terms of the venues (we even played an old converted stable!).
"The Fleadh was great, I got to see my friends the Barenaked Ladies, John
Prine and hooked up with Elvis to watch the Pretenders from the side of the
stage (he joined them for "What's So Funny..."). Anyway, thanks for
noticing me,
Love, Ron Sexsmith
