Hey John, hope your show at the jazz fest went well. I meant to make it after I played with my jazz band, but I wasn't feeling to well and I had an early exam the next morning. Hope to catch you guys sometime over the summer! -Gabe
Hey guys Tunisia sounds great! Jimmie got me hooked on that song a little while ago. I had never heard it before that. Great song.......the melody still lingers on.....
