It was easter sunday I think. Great show... I live in SF if you ever need great Guaca look me up. I'll make it fresh for my favorite guitarist. Fresh from the Avacado. The only thing i ask is you let my girlfriend and I watch you practice. Thanks, TJ Hey Robin, I met you at the Universal Amphetheater in L.A. many years ago. It was easter sunday I think.

I live in SF if you ever need great Guaca look me up. I’ll make it fresh for my favorite guitarist.

Being a Lavazza nutcase you could say I'm a bit of a coffee connoisseur and I have to say that in addition to their excellent burgers, (the one with the sour dour 'bun' is particularly lovely), they also serve up a spankingly good cup of coffee. They make it up fresh too if you ask nicely and, of course, you get free refills. Cheers !

These days I'm trying to get Lullabies to Violaine in Mexico (yes, all the different guacamoles are great!). I really want to have all that beautiful music in great quality and not my crappy mp3 files. Best of luck to one of my guitar heroes! Dear Robin:

The Grateful Dead..."Eleven".....just came on my iTunes shuffle...take some mushrooms and think about it......love, sfjim....'YOU CAN'T WIN IF YOU DON'T BET'.....!!!!... hi robin…

as i’ve said before,,,according to your astrology charts…you and Ms. Fraser have a very unique and special relationship…which manifests SO NICELY with the music……(i would like to hypothesize that CT was just on the verge of Rock’n'Roll GREATNESS..this might have something to do with the COLD FEET SYNDROME….)
