Wes Mattheu and the New Way Down's Friend Space (Top 20)
Great show on Saturday. Thanks again and let's do it again soon. Anywhere you got a show, we'd love to do it with y'all. By the way, people keep asking me when/where they can buy your music. I'm starting to feel guilty about pulling a Rerun (bootlegging your shows and selling the recordings for a profit.) You should put me out of business and do it yourself.
Hello Wes Mattheu and the New Way Down, If you haven't already, this is Just a reminder that our "All for One" promotion is comeing to an end on January 2cd 2008. You can still pre order untill Feb/2008, but to be included in the credits of the cd. and get it to the printer on time, we need to shut that down by Jan 2cd. Thank you for your continued support of Wiser Time. Have a great New Year! -WT
