Song Dedication: Scott Dolch



Scott Dolch is one of the smartest guys I've ever known.  One night in the fall of 1990, he was dropping me off at home, and he asked me, "do you like any country music?"  I thought he was crazy, he had to know I didn't like country, but he gave me this tape, and told me to listen to it and I might change my mind.  He told me how it wasn't country really, but blah blah blah, I stopped listening.  He was my friend, so I took the tape.
That tape began a life long love affair with strong female voices and singer/songwriter style songs.  It lead me to the Indigo Girls and Disappear Fear, and strangely to the Avett Brothers 20 years later.  That's not why Scott is smart, but because he is smart, I listened to something I may never have, if anyone else had given it to me, and it changed the way I feel about music.
