We've got a gig on the 17th of December and are taking a tally of people who will be coming down so we can prepare enough C.D's to hand out.

You wanna put us in your diary as a band you wanna see?

Ah, man, I hope you're feeling better!

Really? You've never met someone else that likes Mr. Garner? That's crazy! I suppose he is rather overlooked these days...

By the way, if you you're a fan of M. Baudelaire and M. Rimbaud, perhaps you like Stéphane Mallarmé as well? He's my favourite of the Symbolist poets.

Brigid: Your music is quite lovely. The fact that your influences include Erroll Garner & Charles Baudelaire makes you that much more awesome. It's great to see someone show self-taught pianists and Symbolist poets some love. Ha.

If ever you're in the the NYC/NJ area, let me know!
