I prefer to think of you as having been, "ahead of your time". But, nevertheless, I respect the self-deprecation inherent in your "lost soul" label. Maybe in our, "extra cheesy, please", zeitgeist, your brand of earnest lost soul music will finally get the respect that it is due.

I was a lost soul. The only thing I remember was doing, cheesy, intentional, overly earnest over-the-top takes of the final verse of "China Grove" (in honor of Tarv's San Antonio roots)
