Looking forward to hearing your music in Memphis Marcus. I'm bringing pumpkin bread for the girls. You are welcome to a slice maybe if you ask real nice.
Hey! Are you on twitter? I am trying to let all my friends that have a twitter account know that I have one, too! Please follow me, and I will follow you! I will try to be as witty and informative as possible. I promise. :) Love, Anna Gilbert twitter.com/annagilbert
Hey, new friend! Thanks so much for the add! I really appreciate it and hope you have an amazing day. I hope you'll check out the music and let me know what you think! Thanks for the support. Best to you! peace and love! Anna
Got my plane tickets and my show tickets to see you in Nashville! I'm hoping to be able to swing by Memphis as well! Bringing a friend, and I have a feeling that she is going to be a huge fan by the end of the evening!
Thanks for the add Mr Marcus! I find u to be pretty amazing and talented! I hope u had a good time this week hangin out with ur mates. I have heard nothing but good things;) Have a good one:)
I have officially posted "The Worst Blog Ever." After you read it you will honestly be able to tell anyone that no matter how bad a blog is you have read "The Worst One Ever".
i just love your music, i swear i'll buy it sometime in fact tomorrow, from an awesome shop in brunswick street that will definitely hopefully have it
have you ever/will you ever visit australia? if not it doesn't matter so much, hopefully when i go elsewhere i'll catch you some place some time. i'm going to road trip america after uni, hopefully you're still making music and around then and i'll catch one of your shows some place. hopefully
you're really, really good! keep being really really good for as long as you enjoy it (fingers crossed until i leave uni
Ugh!! I can't get this song out of my mind. I love "Same Old Dance" and i don't know why because it's so sad. but i can't stop listening to it! does anyone have the actual lyrics to the song??? i know i'm probably singing 1/2 of it wrong.
