Yo! First of all, I wanna say that you did a superb job in announcing our show as MC. Nice work! How does it feel to be a celeb? It's all just a warm-up for the tour of Ireland, a definite must! And I wanna thank you for selling CD's to pretty girls at said concert. That was a brilliant scheme to give prospective album-buyers a free beer (from the band stash). The guys working for the club couldn't figure out how many people were actually IN THE BAND, heh heh! And the sound was fat, oh yezz, fatter than Aretha Franklin. Drums and bass were cookin' and the snare sounded 10 feet thick. Crack! And what a serious bone! (Um, trombone - sorry, mom.) Hope ya all dug it. People were dancing from the very beginning, moving and grooving - and they did not stop. A good time had by all. Took off to the radio station for the late night after-show, found 10 bucks stuck between some of my CD's. Did you do that on purpose? Thanks! You are a source of constant support and friendship. Or maybe it just got lost in the mad exchange between band drink tickets and eXXXtatic drunken fans. When I returned to the club from the radio interview at 5 AM (!) they were playing Calico Soul on the DJ system and it sounded fucking great. Someone there must have bought one from you! We rocked out until noon. And no cops came. Sometime later, in that timeless haze, the soundman showed me that he has accumulated all three previous Calico Soul CD's. He produced them with a grin. I felt like crying, but I felt so good that all I could say was, "Burp." (Translation: "Thank you.") Now here's the best part: People asked me if you and I are brothers, I swear! I paused for a second and said (without lying), "Yes ... we are." Hats off to you, and hope to see you soon. Perhaps on that wonderful green emerald isle. Peace, -Todd
