I wish you a very good weekend. My father passed away at August 6, late evening, but I will try to stay strong in this hard situation. I wish you the best. Take care.
Hey there. How was Rocklin? Boy I wish a few of us could have made it. Mostly we stay in NO. CALI. There are some cool places for you to play, and if you booked them within the same time frame; well think of how much fun that would be. For everyone. I think back on your gig at Peggy Sue's Cruise. I loved it, even if that song "Poor Side of Town" made me cry. I can't get over how the voice was so close to J.R.'s voice. It's meant as a compliment. Have you added any new songs? Can't wait til you make it back around. I got a few places you can try. Also one I'm lookin into. Hmm... It's all about the fun. Love fully, laugh uncontrollably, forgive now, open your heart, give and never regret anything that made you smile. Sometimes a tear or two, also. *-) ♥Diane
Hi there, Loving your music. Wow, you were awesome at the Peggy Sue's Cruise events. I still cry at the song, "Poor Side of Town". Btw, you really sounded like Johnny Rivers. Eeeriie. Loved the songs. Everyone was great and having fun. Can't wait til you come around to Santa Rosa again. Or nearby. Keep rockin. Thanks, D
Hey rockers! Hi from the cold and wet PNW! Can hardly wait to come back to California so that you can brighten my day & night again. Thanks for the great time a the Rolling Hills Casino last weekend!
The pups and dogs and I love you guys ...remember to have plenty of bones for refreshments at your next event 'cause we are all droppin' in. Rock'n roll yourselves to death.
Merry Christmas! I wish you the happiest and most joyful time at holidays, and may the coming year be great, wonderful and beautiful for you, as your music is.
