i write mostly sad songs. i think expressing sadness is as important as expressing happiness. my sadness comes out in songs (and sometimes happiness does too but it's usually pretty faded by the time i sit down to write about it). i just finished recording a new cd, titled "love and happiness...are not the same thing." if you would like one, let me know, if you are a musician and would like to do a trade, i would love that.
i'm totally excited that you've decided to expand your performance horizon to the weekend! ;)
my sister's family b-day celebration is earlier that night, but hopefully we can call it quits in time for me to stop by! i'll give you a call tonight...

none of these should have prohibited me from coming to drop off posters, but i got frazzled and forgot.
when are you working again? i'll drop them off for real. i promise. i'm sorry :(
I AM ALIVE!!!!!! I AM WELL!!! just been super busy between both work and personal life. hope your having a good new year so far! just call if you think of it sometime! i don't mean to fall off the radar - i just get consumed by projects - and sadly mostly not mine!!
i'm up and out the door by 7:30 every day :) except sunday!!! oh lord. never sunday... okay. we'll do big stage... i'll let you know when posters get made!
wanna know what's even more awesome??? we're playing back to back! have you ever seen my band play before? well, you better have your dancing shoes on... see you friday :)
cas. I come here when I need my hard outer coating cracked like the crust of the creme brulee to reveal my soft, sweet insides. your voice is so sweet and your intent is so perfectly audible. I love you.
the new song is beautiful. i wish i could articulate what i think better than just saying that, but right now the words aren't coming to me. but, thank you for putting it up here.
i just got your cds in the mail, but i have to got to work and it's going to kill me. may we rest is really really beautiful, i won't be able to listen to the other cd until after work, but i know i'll have more to say when i h
