Grace.	Jun 30 2009 3:20 AM Hey! I saw you at Southwind last week! You're very good.
CLShasteen	Jun 16 2009 8:44 PM haha, thanks! i got the chords from "i'm yours" and learned it since we ran out of time. you should write a song thats at least a little easy to play so i can play it and let my friends know about you. if you're at southwind next year i'll be a backup guitar for you, or a drummer. haha!

Yesterday I came across Jenny and Tyler thru World Cafe Live's website. I was blown away. I love their music too. What a coincidence that you play with them! Have a great show at WCL.
