Hey Lyle, it's good to drop by your page again and listen to your beautiful music. I've been up to my ears in projects for quite some time now and have barely seen the light of day. Love your new stuff! Always something special and unique. Take care my dear friend and have a wonderful and shining week!
Hey Lyle! I hope this finds you well. There's lots of exciting stuff going on right now! I just wanted to let you know we've got some new songs, and pictures up on my page. Also we're starting to get some air play all across the United States. Stop by my blog section to find the request lines to the stations in your area. Do you think you could help us out by calling the request line and demanding one of our tunes?!? Let me know how things are going with you. I hope all is well! Talk to ya soon! -Jeff"
