A Penny For Your Thoughts
Thanks for the add Mike!!! Good to see you are rocking as hard as ever. Check back for something more than scratch takes on our songs, will be recording more seriously during the summer... well, our summer anyways.
Thanks Mike for the great comments and also for the opportunity to play with you guys at the Barn Bash. It was so awesome playing with all of you and jamming out. One of the highlights of my very short guitar career. Thanks to all of you for giving me the chance to play. I look forward to seeing you play live again real soon. Mike your support has been very cool. Peace Out...Billy
Thanks Mike for coming out and supporting us last night. It was cool to finally meet you. Also thanks for the feedback very much appreciated. We're playing Willow Lake too buddy, sometime in July. Again thanks for coming and keep in touch. We'll see you on August 11th if not before. All the best bro. TJ, Brad and Billy. Rough Justice
If you are free tomorrow night (Saturday), we're playing at J's Place at 10pm in the Jammit Music Jam Fest. We're on for 45 minutes. We would really appreciate it to see you out and meet you finally. Totally understand if you can't make it, but if you're looking for something to do, we will be rocking out with 4 other bands. Wishing you a great weekend...Billy and the Boys!
Hey Mike, you're green!!! Great vids. You're featured on the Brantford Musician's page here on myspace too. Hope to see you at J's on the 16th. We were in Dover the night you were playing but it's a bar and we couldn't come in. :(
See you and hope to meet you sooner than later. RJ
Hey Mike, the new vids are awesome! Great music, wonderful band and tank lighting system. We look forward to August when we can see the whole show. You gotta do a show in Brantford where us kids can come and see ya. LOL. Take care buddy!

Hello Mike
Thank you very much for the comments! I am glad you liked it. Hopeless Romantic was Recorded by Dave McWilliam's in his recording studio that he has set up in his basement. Dont worry I have no intentions on changing it lol.
Thanks so much Mike, we totally appreciate YOUR comments because we know they are from a veteran in the biz and also someone who definitely knows their stuff. We were a bit nervous about asking you, but we also needed to hear some 'truth' rather than just having our moms saying it's great and our friends saying mushy stuff. This was recorded here in Brantford at our guitar teachers' studio. His name is Dave McWilliams. Again, thanks for taking the time to listen and offer a positive critique. I guess for two 14 year old kids, we did pretty good. Peace Out...Billy
Hey Mike, I'm playing on a new single just released by my best friend Hali Gale. It's located at www.myspace.com/haligale
It's the only song on her stereo at the site. I'd appreciate it if you could take a lesson and offer any feedback and thoughts.
Sorry I missed you at the Musician's Union thingy, I heard you were there...dammit. My girlfriend wanted me to go to her dance recital and well, she won out.
Old Guy? LOL, you're older than me by years but what you got on me in sheer talent will take me a lifetime to master. But, I sure wouldn't mind sharing the stage with ya sometime! Bring Your Axe thing is this Sunday at the Army and Navy Club beside PJ. It's put on by the local musician's union but anyone can come and jam out with other musicians and there is a live band that will play behind anyone. I didn't know about it until I read the Expos yesterday and not sure if I'm going. I don't know too much about it. It's all free for everyone. 2-6pm. I have a gig tomorrow at the Ford Plant with my Hard Rock band, Rough Justice. Our first performance. Kinda nervous. Brant County line is awesome, I really like that tune. Anyway, I'm off to check out that guitar forum you sent me. Peace Out...Billy
Mike, you are mad good insane on guitar. The video is amazing. Holy shit you are tank on the axe. Thanks for dropping by my site again, I get so pumped to see someone like you checking us out. The only guitar site I post on is one of the Van Halen forums but I'll check that site out today. Do you know anything about Bring Your Axe thing on Sunday? Do you go there to that? Man you are insane on guitar, I'm speechless. I hope to meet you someday. Peace Out...Billy
