broke out the "old school" brilliance of my "resonance" album today and decided to research what ever happened to the lead singer, and boom, there you are, alive and well. AWESOME.
first of all, how dar eyou for admitting to reading dean koontz, i am not entirely sure that we can be friends anymore. second of all, I am not sure why this is written as a comment and not a message that strangers can not read, but I've already typed most of it, oh well: I'm coming to LA and I say the little cave sounds mighty fine if you're down.
Yeah, i need to get on more too, once I'm moved and stuff I'll be officially back but for now I just get on to talk once in awhile. Miss playin with ya! I showed my sisters your videos and they loved them! Anyways, Hope all is well :)
Thanks so much for the add. I love your voice. Great stuff. If you find yourself with a minute to spare, I'd love for you to listen to some of my music. May or may not like it, but either way, I hope all is well in LA. Best Wishes, Keep it up!
