Yea maan ! it's good to hear from you. Everyone here is cool. Our band is starting to get some gigs but they are far and between each other.. We were trying to get on the Camden county circuit but there seems to be a fork in the road or should I say a giant BOULDER. Let me know the next time youll be performing in philly.
