This is for the Café "back benchers."  It just ain’t the same as it was.  I'm not really folding my tent and stealing away into the night; I'm just taking a sabbatical.  I’ll check back to see how things are shaking out.  I ain’t angry, and my frustration has subsided.  I’m saddened, but change sometimes does that.  So, I’m just going to drift away and leave a few songs behind that say thanks for the conversations, the sharing, the learning, the friendships, the community, the smiles, the hope.  Like me, they’re a bit dated, a bit schmaltzy and don’t say perfectly how special the back bench and the Saloon have been.
