We have a show on the northfork this saturday night. the open mics at the talkhouse have ended due to the recent increase of drunk old men from the city. however, i still play at regulars every week. eric occasionally joins me on bass. it's totally groovy, you should come down one o' these days. and thank you very much, i would like to have said burnt disk in mah possession.
Crap. I totally keep meaning to thank you for the lovely article you wrote. I have the memory of a hamster, you see. Well, i hope to meet you at one of our shows one of these days.
I only moved you because Alyse doesn't have internet at home. But if she asks, she's back up top. Mostly I'm doing this until she notices, complains, laughs, etc.
