Howdy, folks. Hope you dig the music. I'm on sort of a hiatus from the solo stuff currently to focus on playing guitar with the Northside Southpaws, Majors Junction, and the Lawrence Peters Outfit, (all in my top friends) but I still book a few solo gigs here and there. And of course, I'm always writing. I am also available as a hired gun to those seeking a guitar player, and to those seeking guitar lessons. I'm currently on staff as a guitar teacher at the Beverly Arts Center on Chicago's south side. For samples of my guitar work check out Katmandu Grits (uh...also in my top friends)
DUDE. I was watching a show on one of the local channels last night where some douchnozzle was talking about this proposal...I had no idea, and lost my shit just by watching it. I'll be writing a letter/email, ASAP.
Well gosh dangit. I was in Peoria with the A-man for Mom's Day. Otherwise, I would have been getting my tonk-on. I'll look at yer calendar there and see if I can find any good dates coming up...how did it go?
Hey crawfish time is almost here we're thinking late late May or 2nd week of June. Hope you guys can make it, it's been too long. We need at least one Matt representing!
yo yo yo... so good to see you this past week. I had so much damn fun. i'm so glad we've kept in touch. we will definitely make plans for some camping real soon. peace, my dear friend.
Ah, nostalgia. I keep putting that song up, and it keeps getting deleted by the artist or whatever that crap means. Gah. It was the first song I learned to play on guitar...although I can't quite remember all of it. We'll have to come and hear you play again soon.
I'll be arriving in Chi town next Sunday evening. Staying at the Hard Rock Hotel. Figured I'd take the El to the hotel. Got any gigs that week. I'll be there til Wednesday. Seriously can't wait to kick it.
The Horseshoe Thursday? I'll get ready to purchase a ridiculous amount of Jameson shots. And perhaps a funnel so I can just pour them down your throat. Hope you don't need to be conscious to play. I think I may have seen you Friday night...Saturday night I wasn't there, but could smell your freshness from across town.
haha, you love that shirt! That baby is a relic, did you catch the date on it? That's right...'97. Whatdda year man, whatdda year. Still living off peanuts playing the gee-tar? Holla at a negro!
