Hey its Sem. Thought I would see how you are. Our myspace is not broken anymore :) The last few days have been a nightmare. Just wanted to let you know if you didn't get my last message that we have a new single coming out next Spring, and if you haven't seen yet we have a new website. www.bensem.com If you become a member you will be one of the first to know the release date. The only reason I mention is that it takes me about 6 months to try and tell everyone on myspace lol. You up to much this weekend? Speak to you soon
i don't know about better than ms prettyman! hahaha but thank you :) you should definitely try and get a gig at one longfellow. it's my favorite venue in portland. i would love to play at the camden opera house if you guys put something together. that'd be great :D have a good weekend, marie
Hey Luv....sorry I have been so out of touch!! Things are insane up here. I hope your doing really well though and I'm looking forward to see you in March!!
Okay, thanks for that thought. I was kinda debating, so I may hold off on that. The guy that fixed the crack and the bridge plate said that it would eventually need to be done because the bridge and the action compared to the neck was as far as it could go... or something like that. He didn't think it needed to be done right away, but eventually. Any thoughts?
hey! The guitar has been like getting an original copy of the Constitution. It's made me actually start practicing again. Thanks so much for letting it come to roost in my un-calloused hands. I will love it like a mistriss. Talk to you soon.
Don't worry, it's safe - lol. Had a little work done on it. fixed the crack, new bridge plate. I think I'm going to have the neck reset while I'm gone for Christmas. What's up with you?
