-Hey dude,
It was great seeing you last weekend at the Slacktone show.
I keep forgetting that you have kids. I only see you, and your wife
once in awhile.
What do your kids think about daddy being a guitar player in
a surf band? What do they think about surf?
Have they ever seen you play live? Like at one of the Marathon,
or beach shows?
thanks,
Jeff(bigtikidude)
