I'm just dropping in to say hi from Alamogordo N.M. We've had a few drops of rain here for the spring time, but that is about it, other than alot of dust and wind. Hope life has been treating you well.
Hurray! I finally got an audio clip of one of my tunes up on my profile. Please stop by and say howdy. I still want to give you a copy of my cd. (I know you have the demo but I want to give you the finished product.) By the way, I'll be sitting in with Alice Stuart on a couple of tunes at the Highway 99 Blues Club on June 23rd. Hope you can make it.
I was one of the swing dancers who hit both of your shows at memorial park during appleblossom. Just wanted to say you guys were a blast to dance to. If your ever going to be in the area again, we will totally be there. Rock on!
Just stopping by to show some LOVE! Keep on rocking me... baaaay-bee. Sweet music! Have a great week! Be sure to let me know when you come back to N.M. near white sands.
