I got a call to play with a band I never heard of at a place I never heard of, called The British Rose at 8989 Forest Ave., near Greenville in northeast Dallas. This will be my first time playing in this part of town, so if any of you Dallas pickers are off and in the area, I'd like to meet you.  |

Would I split it with Jim? Heck yeah but I was thinking of making some kind of a deal towards the st. Louis convention Hotel Bill. But Jim being that he still has his first and last dollar may not accept that.You know those Maine-e-acts?
