I actually will be in Racine for a week from the 16th to the 23rd of June. Definitely looking for something to do, too. I'm still playing a shitload, but hardly at all on guitar now. I un-quit playing trumpet and it seems my phone has been ringing off the hook ever since. But hey, if the shoe fits, wear it, right?
Is his name Chris Dolan? Thats funny.
I might be able to come out and see a show sometime...but i usually do not have any free days :( I'm doing well busy busy and tired, but can't wait for summer! when r u getting married...and how r u doing?
woah mike! whats up man? hope youre havin a good time on your trip! ive had a pretty adventurous break so far! so today, i decided im probably not going to go to whitewater in the fall. i need to be in a bigger city. im going to try and take a lesson at milwaukee to see how i like curt hanrahan...everyone ive talked to hates him, but you never know...i think hes more jazz-oriented....and so many people at whitewater like to play classical, so that may be why everyone doesnt like him. i want to also take lessons from berkeley fudge at the conservatory of music on the side. i dont know, i just really, really like milwaukee in general...i really dont think i can be in whitewater another semester...i'd die! well...ttyl! and make sure to have fun, too!
Thanks so much for your nice comment you left the other day, Michael... it brightened up my day! And I'm really digging your tunes too; you're quite talented!!
