Hey does Deb and Danny still owe Piecora's? If so tell them I said hello, haven't seen them in years, but use to be good friends when I lived over there! Wish I could be there! Have fun! Hugs, Sandy
Hey Ryan, just got the word that Bob will be spinning you on the show tomorrow! Awesome, sounds like another great line up. Playing a couple of my other friends also.. Catch you tomorrow! Have a great weekend! Hugs, Me ;)
Hey Ryan, Thanks! I enjoyed listening to you the last time. As for me I don't have any music (only in my head), just a BIG indie supporter. I do PR work for a band out of Nashville, Wide Eyed Sleeper. Bob and I met through a mutual friend, Matt Palka when Matt was on the show last summer. Guess you would call me Bob's 3rd ear.. always sending new artist his way. Today he is featuring 4 bands that I sent his way! What a great service that man does.. Luv him dearly! Thanks again, I will keep in touch! Keep smiling and keep the music flowing from the heart!
Hugs,
Me ;)
