Dear friends, I have taken down the Pick Paxton poster giveaway we created for the Paxton event. I had to nip it in the bud. It appears that too many of you have associated some sort of political leaning with the artistic treatment of the poster - which could not have been farther from the truth. I have not nor will I ever have our show or my facebook page become a battleground for people to air political views and bicker back and forth. Leave that to our politicians, the talking heads on TV, radio and blogs. Regardless of our political leanings, this is a place for us to respectfully share our love of the pick and maybe learn a little about each other and the show. I am grateful to each and everyone of you fans out there for blessing me with a platform and an opportunity to share my calling: preserving the past for the future - with the art of the picking. For all of you that said that I lost you as a viewer and a fan because I posted an image of a poster we created for an amazing and wonderful event that benefitted one lucky winner in a small town in southern Illinois - you must not know who I am by now. If you asked anyone that attended that event you would not hear one thing about politics - because there were none on that day. You would hear about an amazing day that I enjoyed w hundreds of new friends of different ages, races, and genders on one of the most beautiful days in September you could ask for. Lets move on and keep pickn! - Frank
