Who I'd like to meet: most everyone here, I'm sure...
Hey Brother....great work with The Schwag @ Schwagstock 41....I was diggin' the vocals on 'Crazy Fingers' (very appropriate)....Estimated was a blast (nice Bobby screams)...and 'Good Morning Little Schoolgirl' was raunchily (is that a word?) bluesy.....you nailed it, dank...all across the board....we hope to see u around more.
Hey Pete, he's out of the hospital now --- crazy stuff happening in our lives forgot to tell him hey, but will today... Haven't seen you in a while...how are you?? Hugs...
Thanks for the birthday wishes. It is always a pleasure to hear from you. Debi Prasad Chatterjee is back in Seattle, this time maybe for the whole year!! I hope things are going great with you, dude!!
Oh bless you! And yes. It's all stemming from the same stuff. I know now why i was told to be patient for the next few months when it comes to dancing and having a good time. So we'll coordinate soon. ***mwah***
I'm starting to get massive Pete-withdrawl. It doesn't help being holed up a bit, not being able to dance and all. I'm thinking it's very close to breaking doctors' orders.
Oh, and I'm on a cooking spree again. I have to get some munchies to you. We'll go over the can and cannots again soon.
