I was just surfing some of my myspaces adds. It's 2am, I got sound coming thru a wicked monitor system in my studio and out comes "Love Apples". Brother, thanks for a great song. That acoustic just rocks.
Greetings, Andy. Great to find you and your music on MySpace. Hope you're keeping yourself well and your fingers limber. Best of luck in Europe this fall. I see you're also hitting Nanaimo's Port Theatre - say hello to my old hometown!
