Hey Brian! How are you? Thanks so much for the plug at GPZ. That was really nice to hear. I told my husband you said I can "shred"... and he said "what is he talking about, cheese?" ... can you believe that?!! LOL. But, honestly, I'm also glad that we were able to connect and for both your and GPZ's support. I'm really excited for you and the new album. Your playing & finger pickin' is pretty darn awesome (not to mention your charming personality) :) Glad to hear things are going so well! Thanks again & will talk to you soon! xo ~C
Hey Brian! Love the new tunes... you are smokin'! I'll definitely be checking back through the weekend to listen again. Lights out for me right now (gotta get up early). Have a fantastic weekend and thanks for sharing your music with the rest of us folks out there! :) xo C
Which Fat Boost? 1,2 or 3? Was told by Tracy's lead player to stay away from the first one - he was using II, and he thought III was ok. Love my Fulldrive II, and its working nice with the Java Boost. But there's always room for one more.
Hey Bri! What are you up to lately? Hope things are going well! Me and the hubby just celebrated our 14th anniversary. Can't believe how fast time goes by! Kids are doing good... enjoying the summer - which is also going by too fast! Talk to ya soon! xo ~C
