Mike Kirby is my favorite guitarist! We went to high school together and I have posted a link to this Pod Cast on Facebook so all of the good old Floyd County Alumni will hear that the Yams are "Steppin' Out" once again!

Mike,
All of these songs were conceived and written by me while you were still in the womb. I recorded each of them in 1966, playing and singing all parts, on a private copyrighted label. My attorney will be in touch with you shortly.
Forget the lobster suit at Steppin' Out. That's what I was planning to wear, and I certainly don't want to run into myself. Remember your upbringing and behave accordingly.
Love,
Mama
