From Debbie H. Not to sound so sanctimonious, but I do want to thank yall for leaving out cursing and vulgar comments from your shows. I assume it's always that way as I've never heard anything offensive in the performances I've attended. It has become so commonplace with other bands that it is a refreshingly noticeable difference when it is absent. It may seem like a small thing but it has caused me to think twice about who I go see. I am usually with my daughter and while I don't like to hear that kind of banter myself, I especially don't feel good about subjecting her to it. For us, it detracts from the reason we are there which is to appreciate the music and the musicians' talent and there is certainly plenty of that in Leaf River Blues Band! Anyway! Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your music and talents without having to worry about being offended. Great show at Shuckers last night! As usual! Love you guys!! From Catherine C.
