Hey, Britt~ Sorry it's taken me days and days to write back... Wish I could slow things down a little! Any idea how to do that? It was great to see & hear you, too, as always. I'd love to see you with Compaq, so I'll have to work on that. Awwww... the bike thing is not a problem. Fear not! We could have some fun, girl, and the weather is fine! Hugs to you~ Ronda
Hi there Britt! You were awesome last night. Great songwriting, beautiful voice, pretty as a picture and great stage prescence...i'd say that's a recipe for success! It really was a pleasure listening to you and meeting you. Lets stay in touch, maybe we can hit some venues together!
Great time last night! I was on an interview panel today and was determined to have a positive out come, and it was! That wacky Marty and his Universe. :)
Hey, Britt! Wish I could have come to the show last Saturday... missed you... I'm sure you & Bruce were an awesome duo. One of these days, girl, our paths will cross again. In the meantime, Happy Spring to you! :o) Ronda
I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your kind words and help with the gear last night. It was such a joy as usual to hear your music but I also wanted to appreciate you for being such a kind and special person! :)
Hi Britt, Awesome job at the Open Mic Jam & Artist Showcase. Thanks so much for being part of the show. Your voice is beautiful and everyone loved your music! Hope to see you again real soon. Peace & Love, Sky
Hey Britt, I just wanted to drop by to say hello and how nice it was to see and hear you perform. Your set was fantastic. Your songs are well written and your chord voicings are very well chosen. I do hope to share the stage with you again at some point. Have a fantastic weekend. Sincerely, Clayton
hey Britt!!! Dang, I'm so sorry I missed you!!! The music sounds awesome. Are you going to the open mic again soon? We should hang... I'm tempted to show up this Monday but I'll be walking directly off an airplane, so not sure if that's realistic. But we should hang at LL if you're gonna be there in the near future! Let me know!
Ahh, sweet, sweet, java... :) my favorite vice. :) Just uploaded Slave to my Senses into nimbit store. I will tell you if it works well when I'm all done. Looks like they have the best deal for the artist. We missed you Saturday, it was packed. I've made a poster for your night and will email it to you so you can post around. Can't wait to hear more of your songs, it will be a great night! :)
I hope you will come sit in at some of these new shows... especially the chinese restaurant in malden. ( it's close and conveniently stocked with food for the busy music professional. )
Hi Britt. after extensive research on myspace, I have concluded that you can and should be gigging a lot more.If not for yourself, consider it community service!
..........spider pig, spider pig, does whatever a spider-pig does...........
Your music sounds great!!! If you are ever interested in some work I have got a couple of things brewing. I haven't decided if we are going to do vocals. But you are at the top of the list if you want.
Britt - YOU were the hard act to follow ; ) So great to hear your wonderful perfect singing and cool songs (including the chords, yes!) again - really glad you could make it up there and hope you have some good gigs at Buckley's!
