Hi Dennis Thanks for finding me here and for your friend request :) Hope you enjoyed my songs. Have a great week and all the best with your music, Catherine
Dear Dennis, A jam and a few drinks? Definitely! Well, you know where to find me, and I'll take you guys on the Melbourne Dining Tram, where apparently you can smash plates, Greek Style - very conducive to getting over any shyness (and yeah, I'm basically shy - but only for a few moments!) Jamming musos are part of the action, so I'd let them know what we'd all be doing in advance! Regards, Susan
Hi there Dennis and his love child! Cheers for finding us in myspaceland and greetings from the deep north! I hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
Thank you, Dennis, for adding me to your pages. Like a jam? Sydney is like next door compared to other places I've been invited to - and right now, I don't have enough for an overseas air ticket, which often happens when you are a Musical Mum! My CHILD put me on my space, and I'm here to feedback any time. I've written over 30 new songs since the first bush recorded CD you hear here, where I nearly came off the Black Spur Mountain to record the lot in ONE NIGHT. Yep.A One Take Wonder. Simple Susan! One of my goals is to have a bloody good jam with a great, gifted guitarist, and you are one of them. But, I'm here for feed back any time, so I invite you to drop by as often as you want. The blogs I've posted are short, whacky and enough to tell you about LIFE as A Lady Muso in Manic Melbourne!
Thank you very much for the Link Up & Sharing Your Music
Nice to meet you through cyberlink!
Keep up the Great Work!
Wishes you All the Best in 2009!
Enjoy your Week!
Hello! Thank you for adding me! Come by anytime! Wishing you much success in the future! Have a beautiful day! ^_^ All My Best To You Carmelita de la Guardia
