Hey Bill...I'm very sorry to hear about your brother's passing. I lost my litle brother last year and know what kind of void that leaves. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Thanks, You're a neat person! When I get the right material to do it, I will let you know. If get any little parts filmed I'll get them posted. I'm hoping to have something accomplished this summer. I'm also trying to score with a good college. I was looking into the L.A school of film. I have my fingers crost I get into that school or one More local like it and transfer later. I would love to give your music a listen! And I will for sure contact you!

That's what I'm going to college for. I plan on doing shorts like them too. I was accepted to the LA film school. I'm from Ohio and I don't want to move that far yet. Maybe go there later. yourself?
Sure but the only songs I can give you a lesson on is "Help!" or "Day of the Eagle". Check out my new Epiphone. I'll lend it to you if you promise not to shred on it. Are you home yet?
