    Hey Julie

    How Are things in Chicago?
     
    Have a good Christmas, we're still on tour but having fun.
     
    Try not to get too close to the Christmas decorations they can give you "Tinsleitis" and you don't want to be struck down by that over Christmas.

    Talk to you later.

    So here we go..... I've just put up 10 of the 11(wish there was room for 1 more) songs from my new album "These Bright Lights" (featuring Mrs. WAZ!!) I want to make sure everyone can have a little something to tide them over until it officially comes out September 21st on iTunes, so...... Listen to the music player on my page and pick your favorite song. Then send an email to wazmusic@gmail.com and tell me which one you picked. I'll send you a free MP3 of that song! Deal?

    Cheers!

    WAZ

    Hey Julie

    Yeah I sometimes spend money I don't have too.  I want to buy a guitar at the moment, I saw one in Chicago at $1200, it's £1800 over here  (That's about $2000).  I should have got the one in Chicago.

    Have a good weekend and don't worry about money, it will all work out.

    Talk to you later.

    Hey Julie
    We are back in the UK.
    We hope you are doing well.

    The USA tour was really quite fabulous, it all went so smoothly with some excellent gigs.  It was a very busy time, we played everyday after the first day we got there, including four performances in one day.  It was great to meet you at Reggie's Music Join in Chicago, that was a great gig.

    What are you up to this week?

    Catch you later.

    Hey Julie

    Thanks for coming to the gig last night.  It was good to meet you.

    Robyn likes you too.  Did she tell you that she is a musician too.  She plays piano around Chicago.

    Oh by the way we didn't get a chance to get the Chinese food because Reggies gave us a free meal, so we ate it.  Musicians have to accept food when it comes.  Ha ha.

    We hope you enjoyed our set.

    We're off to Bloomington today, it's all go.

    Catch you later, take care.
