Sounds Like
Jesus clapping with one hand, the soundtrack to muppet daydreams, theologians arguing with mouths full of barbeque, something fluttering around inside your own head, choked laughter from the back row, giant insect wings clicking against the floor of your high school gymnasium at midnight on a full moon, warm maple syrup colliding with ham, etc...
I use this site to showcase the work i've created before and outside THE WHITE OAKS. Some of this music will have been recorded while living in Peru, some of it done in our studio here in birmingham. Enjoy, and let me know how it is...!
If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!! They only want to see you naked. I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid".
Just thought we'd let you know that we love you. And it pisses us off that you're not famous. All the world should certainly know how gifted you are! Oh~ and we're not giving your dog back. So "Happy Fall" or whatever it is that's in celebration mode at the moment. Love, the Matt, Abbey, Ando, Elvis, Jones & Ra Gore Peace.

BRILLIANT. Really reminds me of the beauty of |Peru. Love the new stuff keep it up and Thank you so much for the chunes. PEACE
I will, I told Matt yall just let us know where youll be and so will we!! Great to hear from you. I need a CD...:) Isnt it said about Charlene? She loved it when every one got together and played on her back porch.She always talked about that, but shes in a much better place now. Talk at ya soon
i wouldn't have it any other way. We are thinking some time in the fall is when we can get a trip together, so we gotta find some time to hang. We are going to make it a long trip, so plenty o' time. I gotta get some more Reverend Johnson stuff. I know you have been doing stuff with the white oaks, but if there is any new Reverend Johnson stuff let me know.
