So, I know you couldn't hear me from way down there under the lights, eh?
But I've got about 50 mildly irritated witnesses who will vouch that I was jumping up and down at the top of the hill, waving horns in the air and yelling "That's my drummer down there being all awesome with that other band!!!"

You f'n rule the universe dude! I loved seeing you having such fun and sounding soooo damn good!

I love you, man.

Was listening to your cd which we got at Falcon Ridge and was amazed to hear your song at the end. I didn't know you sang....and very well....and it's a beautiful song too....and for your husband....my wife's going to be jealous.....I wrote 'God Only Knows I Love You and He Won't Tell' for her. ;-)

I was talking to someone at work (conincidentally, he's from Philly) and he said, "Yeah, but it's been 7 years." So I said, "7 years? 7 years, I spoke no English." For some reason he just stared at me.

Now the song is playing in my head as soundtrack for my afternoon. You need to upload some tracks sis.
