    I agree with Neil, Patient is a virtue and we should count are blessing and be grateful for all the big and little things that life has to offer us.
  • I for one would be for paying people like Neil Woodward a modest stipend for their underappreciated service. Artistic endeavors work positively on our society in ways that are difficult to quantify, but are neccesary for the enrichment of our lives...The idea is embodied in this observation: “We know the price of everything and the value of nothing,”Oscar Wilde

    Love Neil's ideas! We do need to get back to basics and remember what is really important in our lives. The values that we pass on to our children and grandchildren are so very valuable.
  • State Troubadour is an honorary title and is unpaid. I know this for a fact.

    Jim, I don't know this for sure, but my suspicion is that State Troubadour is an unpaid position.

    Ok, explain this to me... the state is broke (i.e. very low on money) and we (the tax payers) are paying for a State Troubadour!?!?!? How much is Neil on the state payroll for? I find it absolutely nuts to be paying for a musician during these times. This is not the go-go 90s here... The state does not need to be spending money on music!
