grettings gwinns...
a former blairsvillian here...
i was home last weekend & my cuz (paul mazzoni) turned me on 2 your cd...i
must say i was surprised & delighted by what i heard.
i had no clue you guys were such a musical bunch...too bad i didn't start
playing guitar until college or maybe we would have crossed musical paths
before i left town. i did have the good fortune of playing w/ely up at
paul's a few years ago but after hearing the cd i wish you ALL coulda been
there...your music is right up my alley, i dwell in "cosmic funk & universal
groove" myself. i love spacey instrumental music & have been seriously into
jazz since picking up the guitar 16 years ago...i love fusion (u know the
real stuff-not the smooth jazz that's ruined the genre) and was at my share
of dead shows back in the day...i've been in a few bands over the years but
never anything like what i truly wanted...some alternative type stuff & a
sheryl crowish singer-songwriter shannon mcnally (ck out her site)
www.shannonmcnally.com who has actually since gone on 2 some
noteriety...she was all over late nite tv (letterman, leno, conan etc...) a
few years ago & got a spot on mtv "u hear it here 1st" deals...3 or 4 stars
in rolling stone, as well as a spot on NPR...she just recorded her 2nd album
w/dylans band as her studio guys...boy, did i miss the boat on that one!!
actually she split town, broke up the band, got signed w/a $100,000
advance...let's just say i guess i was correct in asking her 2 join OUR
BAND!!--THAT BITCH !*@#*!! ;-) they do play her on wyep outta pittsburgh if
u listen to that station u might catch her...but anyway, i digress...
anyway, i just wanted 2 give u guys a thumbs up & well wishes...sounds like
your on the right track--jam bands r hot right now & maybe you'll be heard
by the right guy at the right time & get signed...i hope so-it would b nice
2 see someone from blairsville break it big-time.
let me know next time you're in the harrisburg area-i saw you've played not
far from me-i live in the lancaster county & have been to the appalachian
brewing company & would love 2 come ck you guys out live...and if i could
impose i would LOVE 2 sit in w/you guys & rock the joint. =)
sincerely,
greg skirboll
--if this doesn't automatically reach all of you--please 4ward this 2 the
whole family...next time i'm in town maybe we can jam!
ps...i think i sent this 2 your old email addss last week
planet22_@hotmail.com?? i don't know how i ended up on your old site but i
figured i haven't heard back yet so i'd try again...keep jammin & hope 2 run
into you guys soon...
