HALLO, MY FRIEND!! Good to hear from you, just watched the Grammy's...it was like a first gig for a new booking agent...just a mis-matched concert. No humor or class, trying to get in everything under the sun. The socks were thrown up against the wall and nothing stuck! lol Indicative of the state of the industry. Anyways, hope you are well and gigging. I think about you often and thankful for your friendship. Doin well here in Texas. My music is being well received here. We'll speak soon. G
