Hey Paul,

I sang/scated over your amazing last piece. Too late for the event but I might talk about it next weekend though. I did a post on my blog about it mentioning your name, a small bio and a picture. Tell me if you're ok with it and if I need to modify/delete something.

Glad you are back online.

Check out the ImprovFriday CD - Vol I project. We are hoping you will submit something. Still plenty of time...
