Thanks for the invite and it sounds great. A charming place for charming music. I unfortunately work on Weds evenings but if I can sneak away I will try and catch you guys. I will pass the word as well to the others of the group. We would love to sit in too if the moment seems appropriate (but don't worry, we aren't gig crashers--it would be fun just to watch you guys make music).
You guys sound great and it was such a pleasant surprise to stumble upon your band & music via myspace. Please keep us posted in your local shows as we'd love to come and enjoy your music live.
