Hey-o,

Here's the deal, I'm putting together a "Single of the Month" club. I have to give Jeff Phelps from the Bugs credit for the idea. It costs absotively nothing. Every month I will e-mail you a high quality song in MP3 format (256 or 192 depending on size). The songs will eventually be included in my next full length album "Fantastique Plastique". When the album finally comes out you'll have at least half of the record already for FREE!!

All I need from you are two things.

Over Peoria
by Robert McEntee

On Dan's birthday, Deborah and I received a beautiful song that Dan's long-time friend and band mate Robert McEntee had written for him. It took a couple of days, but we finally convinced him that he should share his song with everyone. Give a listen, when you have a chance, to this loving tribute to Dan called "Over Peoria".

3. The Last Lap
4. I Still Miss My Ex (but my aim is improving)
5. Totally Lost My Mind
6. You Bring Me Down (acoustic)
7. Tune In

we have been practicinng with brandon isbell for the last couple weeks. things are going pretty good. hopefully we will be playing out soon

so, yeah...i'm 33. i've been going to local shows for over 16 years now (does that give me any credibility?) and i've been very disappointed in the recent (last few years) trend of peoria having "rock" or "metal" or "punk" shows. does anyone remember the good old days of Airwaves, when you could pay $5 and see 6 bands - 2 "punk" bands, 2 "metal" bands and 2 "rock" bands all at 1 show?
