Tim,
Look forward to jammin with you and hanging out at the H-House. Even though I'm living in the land of Bluegrass where drummers are overshadowed by footstompin mandolin players, I'll see what I can do about the kick pedal. I'll also find you a noo-kie, or new key, which ever comes first.
We should make SP by 4pm on May 3rd, so that should give us time for some catch up before we head to our prospective gigs. PS, are you available for a road trip to Caesar's on the weekend of the 7th?
See you soon .........BF Gibby
