hi,annie

i saw the announcement for teo in the herald.
59 is too young.

i saw him at a lot of shows, and got to know him a bit.
he got me some killer tickets to see hot tuna at the arlington regent theater a few years back.

he was a good guy.


how are you and paul. i hope to make the johnny d's show. i've missed your last few shows and want to catch one soon.

moving is a great cd and i listen to it a lot.
keep having success. that way i can keep telling stories "yeah,i knew them back when"

ray o'hara,
