I recently discovered your talents and I don't know where I've been for the last few years, but I was blown away! Will you ever be coming to Maine? We have a great performing arts center at the University of Maine in Orono where we've seen some noteable bands. We'd love to see you Chris. Please tell me that you will do a show there.

Hey Christopher, the pics are great but who got a hold of your hair? looks like a color correction was needed asap! Should of called me.What color were you trying to achieve? Well I dare say the two-tone effects were poorly done. I hope you were not charged! That Bozo red-orange is not attractive.Remember I"m the color Specialist and if you wanted to look like Dennis Rodman you need to have short hair. Call me when you can. Love always;your sister;Jane-Anne
Hi Chris!
I caught your act a couple weeks ago at Famous Dave's in Minneapolis....you and your whole band were mezmerising...I couldn't take my eyes off the group - it was so tight!(musically) My friend and I were the only ones dancing, way in the back, having a great time!
I hope that you will venture up this way again, I will be looking forward to it.
Sincerely,
