For those of you Portlanders who can't be in Eugene for Alexa and Michael Hurley's show, come to this one with Kris Deelane's band, SweetJuice. You may have seen Kris before, as she plays a lot of shows with Alexa. Hope to see you there.
Hey Alexa :) Spring has finally sprung and I have a feeling it's going to be a phenomenal year! How've you been? Did you get a chance to read that book?
Hey! Thank you again for playing the Hare last night. You were fantastic! I am honored to know you and your 'beautiful voice, melodic songs and ...' well, you know ;)
Alexa, you're most welcome. And I'd love to get down your way. HEY - Here's a thought - what say we do a house concert here, and one there? (This is my latest plan: this way, we get exposed to each other's audiences.) Please e-mail me at nathenaswell@me.com (I don't like typing in these little myspace boxes!) and see if we can figure this out. - Nathen :-)
You're most welcome for the note, and I'm happy to hear back from you. I hear you about FA - let's spend our dollars more wisely! I'd strongly recommend that you join CIYH - Fran's site has a TON of great info, and I'm sure that being a member would serve you well. (There are MANY more hosts in the States than here in Canada, AND I'm finding my way by hosting my own house concerts.)
Hi Alexa: Thanks so much for the add. Hope to see you in Portland one of these days. I will be at the Laurelthirst again on March 11 at 9:30pm. Do you ever go there? It's a cool place. Your music sounds great, btw. Cheers, Alice
