What more can I say, a great night for music and film, with the odd star thrown in. Come show your support.
Hey, thank you so much for the albums. I watched you at Government Center on Jan. 1st. My girlfriend and I pitched in and you gave us both the solo and the band cd. We love them both, even my parents enjoy it.
However, I am curious about a song you sang that night, I believe it started off, "Have you see the old man," but I'm not sure. Is it on one of the other albums? It was beautiful and I'd love to hear it again. Thank you, hope to see you again, keep on strumming.
