Wow Chris. Your new songs are amazing. I wasn't able to listen to Hell of a year, which I really wanted to hear, but I'll try again later. I know Myspace isn't the smoothest operated website! Love love love "Finding the Edge" - Hope all is well. Have a great Christmas!

Drink great wine while enjoying the jawdropping electric psychedelic energetic and reality-shifting improvisational guitar mastery of Wolfgang Rehmert.

Chris,

Listened again tonight and checked out the new web page. Your voice is like hearing from an old friend. Makes me feel good. And the melody on "I Never Knew} ... just beautifully done. Wishing you the best.

Chris, Great show at the Old Liberty on Sunday. I'm sure you knew that Bruce Hornsby played keyboards for the Greatful Dead when he first came up.
Keep your musician friends in mind when you start doing solo projects. Use your network . . . expand your musical bounds. All the best,
Dan
