0:00.0	I've had a busy week.
0:10.5	It started out where I flew from the Isle of Man to Belfast in an 18-seat prop plane.
0:16.4	A little wobbly thing.
0:17.8	The captain was sitting right in front of me and I could look over his shoulder and
0:21.0	through the windshield. When we got there, had a really nice gig in Belfast, had another nice gig in
0:26.3	Dublin, and then made her way up to Kildare Town. It was a really good gig. And then the next day I had
0:32.0	a really crazy travel day where I had to travel nine and a half hours. There were four trains, one bus, and one plane.
0:40.3	And when I showed up in Aldeburg, that same day, I played a gig.
0:44.3	Really good crowd and a good time in a nice venue.
0:48.3	And the next day I played in Poemm St. Mary's, which was a sold-out gig,
0:53.3	and traveled my way down to Portsmouth, which is where I am now.
0:58.2	The last night in Portsmouth, I played a sold-out gig in a 500-year-old tower, and the claim to fame is that Henry VIII once slept there.
1:06.9	And I'm guessing that's the English equivalent to all of those American hotels that claimed that Abraham Lincoln once slept here.
1:42.8	Music Hi, friends, this is Otis Gibbs, and you're listening to Thanks for Giving a Dam.
2:01.5	I'm sitting here in my hotel room in Portsmouth, England, on a very rainy day. When I look out the window, I can see across the English Channel and I can see the Isler White off in the distance. This is a personal journal. This is a bit of an experiment. I like to say right up front that I haven't the slightest idea what I'm doing,
2:06.4	but I decided to do it anyway. This show is founded with the idea that there are only two people in art that matter. There's the creative individual and the person experiencing it,
2:11.1	and everything else is an artificial filter. This is a way for me to share things with you guys
2:15.6	without any filters whatsoever.
2:18.3	My guest this week are Carol Young and Kim Warner of the Green Cards.
2:22.3	You can find out everything you need to know about them at greencards.com.
2:28.3	The first time I remember seeing the Green Cards was I played a gig at the station inn eight or nine years ago in
2:34.7	Nashville and it was me the green cards and the avid brothers I really really enjoyed
