Hey, nice posters! I'm digging the peacock! I's thinking I'd put some up soon and reserve some for the last week. Looking forward to 11/10! ---------> WHEN MELISSA AND JIM PLAY A FUNKY FRESH SHOW AT FUNK N WAFFLES IN SYRACUSE, NY. Hey look at that, someone plugging the artist in the artist's own comment section for once. Novel.

You have no idea how much your music has been affecting me since you gave me that CD. I've been on the road and playing it over and over!! You've mastered the poet's simple, delicate delivery with deep meaning. I especially enjoy tracks 4 and 6, damn they cut me deep haha. Anyways! Thanks for the kind words, I'm flattered that you were inspired. I would love to play in Asheville in Oct. It's funny that you want to do a ladies thing because I was thinking about putting something together like that with you and Alexandra Day ( you guys have a similar tone, she's from Philly check her out) .

Just let me know and I'm down!!

you gotta find
peace my brother these streets will smother
the seeds of struggle that creep out the rubble
stay focused like the hubble grass roots needs your muscle
or improvement is in trouble never dwell on the fumble
let it be like a bumble move swift never stumble
speak clear don't mumble yell it sam ain't my uncle
he can fight his own skuffles see i'll move my ass to brussels
hop the next train all the way to paris
-eric mire band, SPOOKY LOVE
