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)

Why have so many of Pres. George Washington's "most important (and darker) legacies" been "readily forgotten"? on.wsj.com/2slb29Z
