Do you have any sponsors? Let's do a concert and or some appearances together. I need to get back into the groove of things. I'm about as rusty as an old barn roof. Been listening to youtube the last two weeks gathering inspiration...and now I'm ready to play some. There is this new jam session Nikki Duffel is hosting, where you can bring original music. I have some original funky tunes and pop arrangements I think you would enjoy playing.

Hello Shu Mei, Thank you! Angels come in all sizes and shapes, all ages and skin types and colors.They ask nothing in return. Have a week filled with many Angels! XX~
WHAT DO ANGELS LOOK LIKE?
Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes light up the world when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you the wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered to share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you that it really is all possible, if only you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along, when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart, when you didn't think you had one to touch.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes, all ages and skin types and colors.
Some with freckles, some with dimples, some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies, nurses, teachers, students, lovers, and fools.
They don't take life too seriously.
They travel light.
They leave no forwarding address.
They ask nothing in return.
They wear sneakers and gossamer wings.
They get a deal on dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed, but, they are everywhere you look when you choose to see.
