hi Michael, its nice to see you in freo when you are busking, im usually on my way home when i see you or going to a gig so i cant talk, but will hopefully someday catch up, if you want to talk and arent playing a song atthe moment i run into you!!
i'm glad to hear from your blog that you didnt lose everything in the fire, when i told you i was sorry about the fire you looked bewildered!!
i guess you were to busy busking to explain you didnt lose your stuff,
anyway, how was brazil??
how is the crux and the funk going?
best wishes
