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
Lyric LaCeile

All of it sounds good. We do miss listening to you and your bands.
Oct 20 sounds like a good way to spend my birthday. It's on the 16th.
Not sure about Bonham. Have never been to that place in Bonham.
All is good here.
Cheers!

Hey, just checking in to see how the spirit is moving you? Glad to connect as friends, and looking forward to sharing ideas.

We're putting together a sort of dialogue/discussion piece to ask for feedback from folks and will send it over when we get it together. 'Til then, just hope life is a miracle each and every day.

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.

Best wishes,

Steve
