I would like the world to know that FOR THE RECORD I apologized ten times to Ian for playing that rotten trick on him. I consider Ian an old friend of mine. I am honored to know him, we've worked together many times in the past and I can only hope to have as impressive body...of work...as he has someday. For anybody in the audience who thought I was out of line, you must understand the King Kukulele's line is very different than most lines and I was RIGHT IN LINE at that moment. I never wanted Ian to feel that it was anything other than good fun. He has forgiven me ten times and he pointed out something very important. Earlier in the evening he tripped on one of the many stage obstacles that were strewn about and my comments later may have seemed to be related to that incident. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE!! I had totally forgotten about the earlier incident and was merely trying my darndest to entertain the audience. I got alot of great feedback but if I thought it was at Ian's expense I wouldn't have done it. I was riffing with my friend as it were and in my little impish way playing a practical joke on him. It was a joy to entertain the Coconut Grove Ballroom, its a joy to work with the great Ian Whitcomb, its a joy to be in love with my little ukulele...When I'm Alone.
Love,
King Kukulele

PS Ian WAS drunk!
