Hey Clif! Long time no talk. I saw you deleted your fuzz account? How have you been? what are you up to these days? I recorded a demo in a studio a couple of days ago! Three or four of the six songs are on myspace. I hope you like them. They are a lot more clear and there is a bass player on it who is fantastic! Hope to hear from you soon.
Oh my gosh...I almost plumb forgot, to leave you this message! Anyway, thanks, so kindly, for welcoming me into your circle, and thanks alot...now I'm totally hooked on *The Love You Leave Behind*! : P
Hey Clifton,
I've gotta very home-made video on my site.
You can see I lost my video virginity with this one.
Hope you check it out.
All the best,
Arthur
