Hey Jason, Hope your gig went well in Plymouth. Great jam session last Friday at the Carrabassett Inn. I had a lot of fun. It's always a great time when your playing with someone who is on the same page. Catch you on the flip side. MM
hey Jason - thanks for adding us to your friends list - always good meeting other bands & artists from this great state of Maine! - John / William / Farren -Red Cross Sky-
Don't you think I deserve one LOL I do and you're right about the gas prices!!!! I was going to call you before booking Saddleback to see what you think we all should charge. The northern thing was kick ass...Russell didn't want his other full timers like me to be pissy so he gave everyone a raise...good work!!!
Hey Jason...good to see how busy you are these days. I see you are playing at two of my friends' weddings this year...hmmm, wonder where they got that idea? :) Unfortunately, we can't make the Palmer wedding, but we'll be at the Saucier one in Oct. We'll also probably be up to Northern Outdoors a couple of times this summer! Keep up the good work.
So what's new in the world of Sween? Are you still doing the jam on Tues nights? Finally got myself a full guitar setup so I don't have to rely on anyone elses equipment...been working on ALOT of new songs..drop me a line and let me know if the jam still goes on..if so I will see you there in the VERY near future. Hope you are well!
Hello my long lost Cousin, how are you?? Glad your music career is still doing well!! I hear you guys have gotten a lot of snow this winter, Can't say I miss that part, LOL!! Tell your better half, your mom and dad, and your sister and her family that I said "Hello", and I hope everyone is doing well!! Take Care, Nichole
Hey Jason...thank you so much for the wonderful job you did with our rehearsal dinner and wedding! You really put things over the top for us. I've had so many compliments on your music...everything from friends who want to book you for their weddings, to the fact that you should be on American Idol! Thanks again...you rock!
