Hola Marco~

I was just thinking of you bro and thought I should check in and give up some love! I sure miss being able to drift in and see you guys play now and again (what an inspiration). I just landed in Maryland this month and have been taking care of business here so I don't envision being in Tejas any time soon. In any case say hey to Scott and I hope you all are enjoying the Holidays!! Peace brother! I'm sure we'll cross paths again.

All the best,

Dan

Hi Mark!

How have you been? I thought of you and wanted to drop in and be sure to invite you to slide by our UK site, I have a full staff now assisting musicians in so many capacities, and of course we feature new talent with interviews every 10 days all year. Just drop by my site, into the top friends, the white jazz Les Paul.

I've been involved in a film (Interviewed for the DVD Featurette)on The Starck Club, as I dated on of its primary investors and was a scene queen...That's been so much fun!!!

Hope you are well!! We still need to catch up one day and have a cup of tea.

Much happiness

A big thanks to all my friends... I just went over 10,000 listens on my player. I've added a fifth tune to my player, an arrangement of Scott Henderson's "Harpoon", the leader and guitar player of Tribal Tech.

Sorry for not dropping by as of late.
I hope that you are doing well!
It just seems I have more bad news than good news these days.
I was just informed today that my uncle has about 3 months to live, and my uncle cried, it's hard for him, but he is fighting to live. And he still loves God! I made a blog about the full update too.
Thank you for your prayers.
God Bless!
