Chuck,
good to hear your hands are fine. I haven't been able to play for a while due to an illness and it sucks. I have been able to play a bit of piano now though and I've learned quite a bit over the last few months. I saw Tommy Emmanuel on TV the other day and couldn't help but pick up the guitar for a few minutes. It's all good though. I'll be fine soon.

Bill,
yeah, there are a few blues festivals down under. There is a big one held at Thredbo in the Snowy Mountains near me each year as well as a general Jazz festival later on in the year which has some blues musos too. The best place in Sydney to go for blues (or any music for that matter) is at the Basement. www.thebasement.com.au They have their own internet radio station which you might be able to log on to.

Fret,
great to hear you are still around. I don't get a chance to check in much either but I do miss you guys.

Take care guys and I hope to check in more later.

Bullfrog.

Hey all. Missed you guys. It's been almost a year now. Good to see you back Fret.
How are the hands Chuck?

Is Dave PRS still around and Relli (beatlemaniac)?

Bill when are you coming "down under".

I hope to get some more time this year to post up.

Bill,

I've missed you! Did you ever get in touch with that club that seeks Local and National Blues acts?

Way back when I told them about you and your band.

Hey give them a try, it's about 30-40 minutes from me so you have a place to relax, chill, and sleep if you need it.

I can handle a few people if needed.

Fret

You need to see about extending that European tour to include England Bill, there's always a place for you to crash if you need to...
