Notes
Happy fuzzy Friday my dear friends …let me please extend the clammy hand of gratitude once again to those who have stuck around and supported my free channel for all these years …

You’ve stuck around through divorces, the life threatening illnesses, the face cancer and all the other insane ups and downs on this rollercoaster ride through the endless twists and turns of the modern day music business.

We CLEARLY know that making a living in the music business in the 20’s (the two thousand and 20’s I mean) is not easy friends….yet here we are.

Special thanks to my friends at Nobels for sending a very sweet and kind gift box.

Thanks to Ray for the cool pedals.

Thanks to Yann for fixing all the broken shit.

Thanks to my sweet little boys for being the fucking greatest sweetest coolest kids on earth.

Thanks to my dear friend Johnny for being the best bookie a man could ever ask for over the last 20 plus years.
