Hello guys! Very nice to hear from you, it's been quite a while since seeing and hearing you - Dave playing with Umo in the end of the millenium (!) and Steve playing w/ Carla Bley in Pescara 2002. I hope you've been fine in every way. Take good care and see you soon! Best, Jouni from Helsinki
At last. Your presence on MySpace was longtime awaited!

Great tunes played by great musicians! (please add some more!)
Wishing you lots of success.
