Hi Bryan,
Thank you for adding me.
I like your music, and hope to hear you one day in Staunton; I have some friends there and I played once at Mill Street Grill with Dave Morgan; I went also in that old bar where there are Bluegrass jams. I also love the atmosphere at Jerry Frettwell music store.
I will come back to staunton next spring.
Friendly from France
