Ah, the good ole days ... When going out was fun and the company even better. Glad to see you're still around the old stomping grounds. I find myself singing, "ham, ham, ham" quite regularly.
You are most adorable for, A:finding me & B: asking this unsavory vocalist to BE YOUR FRIEND. Love what you're doing. I'm sure you dig me too. Cheers, Eva Jay Fortune
Hey Lee and the gang, thanks for the add. It's great to know that there are other bands around trying to keep SF an instro-friendly town. Hopefully we'll run into each other before too long.
