Hey Bruce,

Thanks for the Add, for the friendship, and Love your sound... Nice!!

My brother has lived in the Seaside area for many years now. His wife & family are native to Seaside. Nice to see some more local peeps in the industry.. :-)

Stop in anytime. I love to hear from my friends as often as possible. It will be nice to get to know you more, as time is on our side.

Thanks again, and have a fabulous weekend... I don't think it is a nice weekend over there, weather wise, from what my bro says, but I hope you'll enjoy it anyway, if you can.

Much Love & Peace,
Kimber
