Hello JV!
We know you don't any reason in the world for ever leaving NOLA, but if you come on over this way to visit!  If we can't get you, at least we got your Dr. Watson as our profile song-of-the-day!

I am living in Chicago now (since May). Tiffany and I are digging it so far. I have been playing with Fareed Haque and Flat Earth ensemble. Indian, funky, Jazz fusion stuff and freelancing. Always looking for more soulful backbeat gigs and good improv based stuff. If you hear of something, let me know. My brother is having a kid in early to mid august so I will call you if I am there during blues fest. I would love to hang and play with you again. I want to take a lesson with you as well.

Take care my man!
