Eric, thanks for the expedite & great job on the PRS. The Air Classics sound the same as the others to my ears - I was sceptical.

If I had feelings they'd be hurt. So it's a good thing I don't have feelings - I have sensations:)

Smart ass!

Hey you play at Hog Wallow on March 29th! That's awesome. I went there last Sunday for the very first time. I love that place. I was going to try and get Jackie a show up there. Any suggestions. Maybe she can play with you. Ohh that would be heavenly because you both are so good at spreading beautiful music.

I was going to invite you to Jackie's show that same day but it looks like you're busy. Instead come to her show on April 10th if you don't already have a show lined up.

You should do me a huge favor too! Lets book a show together!!! Yippy that would be sweet. I love your music :)
