Glad you like the animation and thanks for letting my blatantly post my wares on your site. Hope November's rockin' for you. Would love to catch up the next time I'm back in MN and drag Hansarelli out from lounging in front of his pot belly stove and lay some tracks down...

I just wanted to let you know the Tardiss album 'Behind the Blind' is finally available on iTunes. Please stop by and listen to some of our tracks. Thanks!!
Paarrrk! How have you been man? I've gotten about 1000 times better at guitar and piano since September, it's crazy. I have a weekly group guitar class and then a guitar lesson, and a weekly piano and saxophone lesson. It's crazy. If you're still teaching this summer I'm sure I'll be back, and you'll probably be surprised :-0
