Thanks for your support man. Shows, they'll be a happening, we're going low key at first, but will let you know. We're working on a couple of things but don't have the dates yet. Maybe we can share a bill sometime with one of your fine organizations. See you soon, M
The feeling is mutual. If you ever want to come up to Columbus, please let us know. We enjoyed your music very much and would love to play with you again.
Hey - haven't been on myspace in a long time. Just got your comment about Columbia - don't see it listed on your show dates though. Would love to see you - you are welcome to stay with us if/when you come to town. Miss you lots - hard to believe we let so much time go by........ Mom is not doing well - I know she would love to see you too. Love you, Jo
