Hey Altered States, I am sending you a Cointreau Caïpirinha.
I wanted to shout out and thank y'all so much for the opportunity to share the stage with you. I sincerely enjoyed it and whole-heartedly hope it can happen again soon. Keep up the funk, I know you will. ~ Eldridge
The show last nite was sick.Eldrige the first band was nasty. The soul was flowing from this group like Krytonite kicking supermans ass. The band had that ole school bounce. You see it I said it i'm out...
