    Hey Max, Good to hear from you! Do you have any plans to come back out to LA with that singer I heard you with @ Spazios? What happened with that cd? I'm sure your playing better than ever. Wish I could have made that tribute for Roger. Who plays with you in that band? I'm going to try and make it back in the spring.Take care, Tell Roger I said Hi
