Great to see you here, man. How's things going? I was on a gig with John Piazza recently and we were talking about you (all good stuff - lol) and he was saying what a great musician you are. I've heard such great things from so many folks. I hope to get out and hear you play sometime soon. Let me know when you're playing out somewhere.
Thanks so much for joining the site and welcome to the network! Let me know if you have any questions at all. Take care and all the best to you
