Sister. Horns be honking in LA. No sleep though. Mannequins in tow fo show. Makers on the mark, and dancing in the park. Pressing record before I'm ready to play a chord. Wine, dine, shine, feeling fine.
I'm going to try to see you tomorrow. Friends coming in from Detroit and you guys are sweet. I have to check out Toast sound real quick and may stop in. What time are you going on? - Joe
