WHAT'S UP BEAUTIFULS SISTERS AND BROTHERS
How're you all doing? Hope everybody's having a great week end. I am seating at home listenig to old and new tracks of mine as well as some songs by other artists that I would love to cover for the new shows. I have to admit that I am pretty exited about the coming album and tour. I feel so pump up and ready to let the vibes flow.
As I am writing this Joe Jackson is singing "you can't get what you want, 'till you know what you want"
AMEN
I feel this to be so true; feel what I'm saying???
Anyway, once I get back from shooting the video at the end of next week, rehearsal will start and I'll get back to what I truly love doing:Playing with my band. I hope many of you will catch one of the show, and if you do please, please come and say HI, for all the others we are presently trying to figure out how we can retransmitt the live shows on the net; if any of you has any idea of the best way to do this, come and share it with us.
Have a great week end and as I always say:
PEACE OUT
