Hello Friends,It`s a real thrill to be able to talk to you again!Glad you could make on this cloudy Monday. 

    A big hello to My sister Kathy,her husband Steve,and their daughter Michelle and to my brother Pat,his wife Diane,and son Ryan!The strangest thing happened this morning.I was leaving Chinatown from a cafe I allways have coffee at and there was a middle-aged guy on the corner playing electric guitar plugges into a small Pignose amp.A friend of mine was standing there with him.He was one of the best guitar players I`ve ever heard!I want to get him on some Ice Giant songs and I talked to him.He said "Great,I`ll tell you who I am later."That`s L.A.I hope I see him again!

    Still playing at the Lost Souls Cafe.I play every other Sunday night and I play one song.Sorry about that!It`s the new song,"Take a Shot in the Dark" and I`m shamelessly plugging it at L.S. and it`ll be a new JL and the IG track soon.The trouble I have,honestly,isn`t in confidence in myself or my songs,it`s in my fingers!My fingers are weak!My fingers are tender!I don`t even play a guitar anymore,so when I do borrow a guitar and play,it`s killing me at the finger level-real pain!Also,a plug for "Night and Day"-Marlon Brewer and Paul Saiia a great guitar duo that often plays Paul is also an excellent drummer and plays for the Ice Giants.For more info,go to http://www.nightanddaymusic.com
