Hey Gordon Beautiful photo! Hope your Euro-Touro summer is going great! I'm not on Myspace as much anymore...you should come play on Facebook...it's the "new" thing...well actually TWITTER is but I refuse to "tweet" :)))))
Hi I wanted to thank you again for coming out and playing all night. I knew you would keep us entertained! Hope you are having a good time...see you when you get home. AG
Thanks sooooo much for playing for us on sunday ...everyone loved you and the band and im sure dad (and mom) were bustin a move on the big ole dance floor in the sky!!!
Hi there! It was great to see you again though it was too short... Didn't hear/see that much, but whát I've seen was great! Thanks again for your superb music! Have a good tour in Europe and hope to see you again some day!
Hearing DD Rider with you and Chris Stovall Brown reminded me of the first time I heard live music in the Boston area; in 1988 at the 1369 Sunday Blues jam with you two, Tuffy and Silas, it was great- first time I ever walked into a bar and had that feeling "I'm Home".....hope to catch you at a gig soon, always a pleasure to hear you, Grant Kelly
