Hey! Hope you are doing well.....what a rainy weekend!!?! I'm in London now.......about to start the tour. I don't know if you are playing a show on June 24th or not, but i thought i'd let know that i'm playing in London on that night at the Half Moon Putney. Tommy Allsup, who played with Buddy Holly, will be with me that night.......he is 75, and full of stories.....he is the guy that flipped the coin with Ritchie Valens for the seat on the plane.
Anyway, i hope you are doing well, and i hope to get to meet you on the night.
Sincerely,
Kevin Montgomery

enoch hotties wont let you know how they feel about size.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that enoch has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny thing and in three months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow packs from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them.DOTADE.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three saturdays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with packs in it, there was like seven full packs and three empty ones, all ordered from DOTADE.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his johnson and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 packs from the website at DOTADE.COM for you know who.. he does not have a web page, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the packs will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing.DOTADE.COM

Hey! Hope you are doing well. I'm in Key West right now......playing at the Hogsbreath......lost the voice last night, but with the help of a steroid shot....we will see what happens tonight!!?
Anyway, i'm hitting it hard in June and July.....in June i'll be on the road with Tommy Allsup of Buddy Holly fame. I made a little video about the tour and put it on youtube. You can see it here.
July will find us in Key West for the Songs in the Sun festival. I've booked Shurman, Howard Livingston, and Danny White for the special concert on the water. It will be a party, and i'm inviting you now! I made a video for the festival as well. You can see it here.
Anyway, take care and i hope you are doing well........Sincerely,

Hi BEAR HOLLAND this is HeLLeR from Italy!!!
I'm a singer, and I love doing this, on the stage and in studio...I was born in a rearshall room...I think this could be called DESTINY...
I've done a new single and a new video, called NOTHING TO LOSE and posted in my profile www.myspace.com/hellernet...This song means a lot for me, because I think this life is the one opportunity to make our dreams come true...And if we'll realize our wishes we won't lose anything...
Music is the reason why I feel alive everyday!!! Check out the song and the video and comment them!!!
As someone said: "It's only rock'n'roll... but I like it!!!
