thanks to Gary and Danny for the House Sessions, the gtr and true educations

thanks to Anne-Marie and Gina for reflections

thanks mom and pop for the chance to breathe freely

thanks to my two best girls: one for the turbulent space for music and the other to see life at four and forty

...to play in front of none or 10,000 is easy...the trick is to play in front of the indifferent few and still want to...Michele knows

 

jason and seth, bob and deb...keep stalking and we’ll keep squawking...

Statts, stats, and stray cats...bands, Faans (and the other 87 ester fans)

pear, sweenigan, bob, the ssj blonde heart-throb

buckner’s box and a late case of the chicken pox

nancy, amy, nancy and danielle, Fidd's gangs (bodinet and dell)

 

buckeyes and bar combs, skyhawks and car bombs, lardy dardy on guardy

ravioli, ravioli show me the formuoli, mickey dees, and peetee’s fees..ARIZONAH!

hairy john and all our moms, circle kays with no spare change

poco and lasagna, the dead rush to find ya... tracy and bums, davy and rums...

i meant Bacardi in a Valiant, where delusional lamps were lit and were salient...

no more rhyming, i mean it, anybody want a peanut...umm, i should go

 

like most projects in life, this one is not done, but better than standing still,

i’ve taken step one...i hope i see the end, but it really is the journey and friends..
