Hi Candy, great jam last night, you guys sounded great, always a pleasure to play Your Song....good thing you're not a nine piece band, I'd still be writing the lyrics....Hope to be there Wednesday, Grant.
Hi Candy, good to see/ hear you at Paddy O's last Tuesday, beyond the walls of the Cantab... That guitar/ amp rig of Ryan's that you used added even more warmth to your playing, you sounded great.....
I am becoming addicted to Wednesdays Nights at the Cantab- There is Somethin' Goin' On... You sounded Great, good to see Charles rockin' out, the crowd did arrive and I gotta admit, I had a blast- again.... (hope I set your amp right when I was done with it...) Thanks Again, Grant K
Boy, the Cantab is certainly the Place To Be on Wednesdays, You sounded great last night, and of course, I am always happy when I get to "borrow" your rythm section! Now you gotta listen next time I do 'Walk on the Wild Side', 'cause I wrote a verse just for you....!!!! Thanks again, GK
