Lafayette is a long way to drive home from when I have been drinking. And Im sure I would be drinking to the sweet sounds of your music. Come closer. Or let me know when you are back in Sausalito. :-)

Hola, Anna. Wow!!! Geanie Stout told me about you. Even though I grew up in Atlantic, Iowa, I am a Latin freak. I guess it's from being a drummer. Si??? I love your sound. Will really give you a better listen tonight when I get home. I toured a long time ago with the devine Mz. Stout. I love that woman. You are awesome. All my best, Billy Bucher
