I looked for y'all at the festival, but didn't find ya. We were only able to go on Friday, but we had a blast! You've got Bradley Walker on your page! He's from around where I'm from in Alabama! I do a lot of volunteer work with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, that's how I found out about him...he's sort of our local hero. He's an amazing musician that has overcome a lot of diversity in his life.
Hi George and Kathy! Nice to see you on MySpace. Thanks for spinning my songs on your show and I hope you can do a review of the CD someday when you aren't too busy!!
