In the reflection of the bar, in the basement of the Alamo, between scratching my flea bites, that picture was taken. Happy Thanksgiving bud, miss having you guys around.
Truly, I would be all over the opportunity. I played a show in Decatur about two weeks ago with a bunch of cool people, I think some of them were from Chicago and we could all hang out cheerily. Take care, Devin
I'm doing pretty well... this stuff is giving me a lot of drive to do stuff... so that's good... I hope I get to see you guys sometime fairly soon... that would be sweet... I miss everybody... tell them so... later...
UNIFIED FOLK THEORY, is now available. It contains 33 original acoustic songs of The Giving Tree Band on two CDs. This double disc was manufactured in the most environmentally friendly manner currently possible using the highest recycled post-consumer content on the market and nontoxic soy ink printing at the wind-powered studios of Earthology Records. The paperboard cases feature custom illustrations by local Chicago artist Ania Klimiuk (www.aklimiuk.com). Ten trees will be planted for every 1,000 units to absorb any CO2 gases created in the manufacturing and shipping process. Also, two dollars from every sale will be donated to Hand In Hand USA (www.handinhandusa.org), a non-profit organization for humanitarian aid, which serves one of the most impoverished regions of India. The music is an acoustic tapestry of different folk traditions threaded with the lyrical themes of love and understanding with the hope of inspiring harmony among people and cultures.
