Hi there!

We would love to see you at our upcoming gig at the legendary Troubadour club in Earl's Court, London on 3rd Dec, 9pm, if you're in the area.

We'll be playing acoustic versions of material from our forthcoming album 'Circus Blues', PLUS we'll be selling our promo-single from it!

See our page for details.

Thanks!

Hi Grant - thanks so much for listening and for the kind words. Thank you for including me in your world of friends. I am a lucky man living this life in music, and I am grateful for every moment of it, no matter how far from home the road leads!

If any of your friends would like to drop by and sample some of the 18 songs on my MySpace, they'd be most welcome and I'd be mighty grateful.

With warm regards from the Blue Ridge side of the neighborhood,
Andrew

Hey Grant, hows it going over there in D.C.? Its been a while since i've talked to you, looks like your playing out again? I've been working on my music a lot lately and hopefully may have a song or two up soon... I've got about a million guitars now and keyboards and computer recording equipment so I figure I better do something productive with it. Haha

Sorry to hear about the lack of veggie options in DC. Have you connected with the Vegetarian Society in DC? They serve up a heckuva Thanksgiving feast, all vegan of course. The club I work for, Linnaea's Cafe, has all-veggie lunches -- today I had a Curried Cabbage roll and Cream of Cauliflour soup.

It's great to hear from you. You should wrapping up your education about now. Last year? Graduate school?

It is, and gives a beautiful sunset :)

4 day conference at the Hyatt near Disney (and I am staying in some cheap motel, not because WWF pays, but I have to pay myself now ;))

Correct, I will not put you in the category 'beautiful women', so it will be 'others' :)

Greetings from Anaheim California!

Cheers,
Jeroen

p.s. do you think they can handle jokes about smoked ribs over here now?

Hi Grant--Thanks for including me in that impressive list of Influences. How are you enjoying DC? We're all fired up out here in CA, as you may have seen on the news. Yours--SK
