    Hi Glenn

    thanks for adding me as your friend. I'm a massive wilco fan (actually wilco freak would be a more apt description) and I'm also pleased to hear your working with andrew bird. Would like to see you return to Glasgow with wilco AND andrew bird. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to catch the drum head again.

    Keep on rockin in the free world,

    a w
