Got another tune for you to listen to. True story of an historic figure dealing with a dark night of the soul. A little heavy for a casual listen, but an interesting composition. Ear phones if ya got em. Let me know what you think. NO TOMORROW
I'm really looking forward to seeing the band Friday night on Long Island. I hope anyone in the New York, Connecticut and New Jersey area can make the trip. Check the details at: http://groundsandsounds. uufsb. org IT's always a great show there, and we're really looking forward to welcoming the band back for the 3rd appearance here!
So glad to have you as a friend! I pray my music blesses you. Please stop by my page and sign my guestbook. Feel free to visit often and keep in touch!
