   About Great Republic Of Rough And Ready
Photobucket "From the opening croon of 'Candyman'--the song that drew me toward the front of the room at Banjo Jim’s and whose sweetness seeps from the speakers--to the closing electric riff of 'Gospel Ship,' The Great Republic of Rough and Ready is twenty minutes of ephemeral and ethereal time travel.... Between jazz vocals and blues riffs and subtly experimental instrumentation, The Great Republic of Rough and Ready have covered nearly half a century of American blues tradition." -American Blues Blog (americanbluesblog.com/2009/08/great-republic-of-rough-and-ready-by.html)

Hey Guys,

Thank you. Great sounds!  That voice reminds me so very much of Billy Holliday who is a hero of mine.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I have the same picture of myself at blue monday from a few months ago
cool and weird at the same time

I enjoyed the stage but was sad there was no one there
new york is a bad place to not really know anyone
saw you are friends with my best friend hannah so i wrote
to say hi and all
