Hey Jeff, how is everything going? I went into drum world a couple weeks ago to get some new sticks since mine broke again--didn't take too long this time, ahaha. Teaching going well for you?
I'm playing drums for this church in catoosa with a close friend of mine and staff from the church. Amanda, our singer, has a beautiful voice. I'm very excited to get things rolling and help use the old 4/4 beat to get everyone clapping. :-)
I'm still saving up tons of money for college, it's insane. But during the summer I will be talking to you about getting some lessons in.
Hope to see you again soon, and I will try to catch up on your performances when I can get too it, being a full-time worker and full-time student leaves little for time for the arts. :)
just stopping by to say thanks for the support. and hit up the page and check out the music.
We've got all our songs up for FREE DOWNLOAD at www.soundclick.com/escctrl so go check it out, we do a lot of styles of music so theres something for everyone.
Hey, Thanks for being my MySpace friend! I look forward to meeting and becoming real-life friends in the near future.... Your stage or Mine! (Currently Looking for New Band or Sit-In Work, Keep an Ear Open 4 Me)!
Check out these videos, maybe you know a band that we'd be a good fit!
Thank you so much for the comment. I always like hearing about you and your family as well. I will tell my folks you said hi next time I talk to them. Man, wasn't Michael Jackson's death a real tragedy? Remember when we were little kids and he was just larger than life?
I hear you need some excitement on Friday nights. Well fear not, this Friday at Dixie Tavern Orange will rock you into a Vitamin-C frenzy!!! This place wont know what hit it! Come join the Chaos . We hope to see you there!
