wow! i can't believe wallace is married. we're getting old. i wish i could make it up there for your show but doesn't look like it'll happen. good luck, though. talk to you soon.
I meant to respond earlier, but you know how things are! I'm not in NYC anymore (short-term thing). I might as well be on tour for as much as I've been on the road lately. Hopefully I'll see you around somewhere soon!
I thought you'd like that. Consider it a belated birthday gift from me to you. Just so you know... you were real close to getting 'Putting on the Ritz'---Taco style. I'll save that for later. So, how have you been?
I don't think I can quite afford a trip up to NY at this point, but let me know when the first MD Elise Major show is with you in it- Of course I plan to be there :*) Hope to see you soon. Like the new stuff a lot. Added ya'll as a top friend too. Best of luck until next time!
I'm tired!!! No more mixing microphones and drunken band members. That Travis gave one of the best dedications I've ever heard in my life. Inspiration....
Everytime I see old videos of them, I'm reminded of how they're the last band in the fuckin world I'd ever think would make it big. Who was on drums there? Was not Channing. Was it Grohl?
