Sounds Like
If you catch me on a good night (out of town on a weekend), I sound like a man who truly loves music. If you catch me on a bad night (in Vegas on a week night), I sound like a man who wishes he was bussing the empty tables in front of him.
Here is a description of what i do: I have a foot-operated recording device that enables me to record layer upon layer of sound. I have 5 guitars, a drum set, turntables, keyboards, and a tupperware box full of junk that I use to create said layers of sound. When all goes well, I can emulate a full band playing a song. When all goes not-so-well, I can emulate a poorly funded middle school concert band warming up before a christmas pageant.
i was riding to work the other day and i swear i saw you standing out on the corner of 8th and Pine. it looked like you were yelling something... but i couldnt hear what it was...
Hi! Are you playing any shows?? KS or MO, either way, I'm Soooooo there. I just happened across Jesus at the TOp of my lungs on my iPod last night and got really nostalgic for a little Phil weekendpalooza? Let me know!
DOOOOOD! you had face time on camera and didnt plug a gig?! aw man! your slippin! Saw on the tube. lots o drama! hope to see you playing somewhere soon.
Saw you on the t.v. last night. Glad to know you are ok! I hope you are out and about playing somewhere? Thinking of you and sending happiness your way!
We're ready for your great return!!! I would love to see you over waterfront if you can make it!!! I could easily make a spot for you!!! Much love Brother!!!!!
Hey I just saw you on the news! When did they start letting crazy people live in your neighborhood? Speaking of neighborhood, when did you get back to STL?
Just stopping by to say Hi and realized you aren't in Vegas...neither am I , I am back in Columbus, OH. If you do any shows around this area (or somewhat close..aka a day's drive) let me know, I love to see ya! Hope you are well !!
Just let us know when you're going to be making the trip east and we'll figure something out. . .either mojos or blue fugue. any idea of when you'll be headed this way?
Dude...I am doing a show on the 28th of May at the Aruba. We are putting together the linup. Will you PLEASE consider playing your "Greatest Hits" at the show? It will probably be my last performance before I move to San Fransisco....
excellent, i can't wait for my gigs of pop! hey if you're back in missouri this summer, you want to possibly play at my cd release show at the blue fugue?
