I'm a huge fan of yor work. I've seen u a couple times. I'm currently recording a cd, and my studio drummer messed up and I am normally a calm collected shy and sweet individual, but for some reason I yelled "why can't you be more like Jen gilleran!" he didn't get mad because he knows he is not as awesome as you. He hurt his back and can't play now so I'm lost without a drummer. I want my sucky drummer back! Haha. Sorry, I didn't mean to tell u my life story. Just thought it was funny! Keep up the awesome work. I love all of your different projects. :) much love, Melissa D
You are missed too Tenderloin... things are great here, but your polyrhythmictendencies could sorely be used up here, it seems like there's a 1:10 ratio of drummers to guitarists... I notice you may be headed to Holland...what fun!!! You should check out this drummer Neil Morgan I saw the other night He's the same caliber as you... Just mind blowing of a drummer, I think he was channeling Charles Mingus the other night... xo M
Hello there . . . so can we play together soon? Whether it be me and you? Me and you and someone else? Me and you and other people? My band and your band? You play for me and I just listen? Vice versa?
I see you're going overseas? With who? Did I ask enough questions? Miss ya . . .
Jen - lovely to meet you in that dark alley in Boulder on Saturday night! Ha! :) You rocked it per usual and your Hi Dive show was great (thought too very short). See you next time... Heather
