Hey Briggs, nice music man! It was fun jamming with you at Jesse's crawfish boil. I'm going to have to make my way out to Basile sometime soon to hear you guys at D.I.'s.
I want to tell people about your dad's accordion for sale, but people who don't have myspace can't view your pictures unless they have a myspace account.
Maybe you should put it up on your front page. I'll spread the word then
