It was so wonderful to meet you and hear you play. I wish we got to hang a little more, but someday, perhaps. I'll be sending you something in the mail soon. I hope you're doing well and that your treks are smooth and soft around the edges.
My attempts to create an Open at the Mama Buzz Cafe have failed. The will be no open mic at the Mama Buzz cafe. The "Every Second Sunday" open mic has been double booked for the second month in a row. It is clear I'm not suited to be the host of an open mic. Thank you all for your interest and support. My sincerest apologies to all musicians poets that hoped and even planned for this open mic.
Hello new friend! I dig your style darlin', sweet sentimentality, honest, and charming.
I'm in Milwaukee most of the time (I'm going to school here). I was living in Chicago over the summer, but it's still a city I frequent often... or frequently. I see you're coming into town (both towns!) pretty soon! Are you set on the shows? I could help out if anything falls through, but if all goes smooth I'll most likely see you there!
thanks again for the show! and for playing the pity party song... and for putting up with me drunkenly telling you i want to be your real friend over and over (from what i remember). but i really did mean it! you and your crew are the best!
