Well, on a more serious matter, today is a dear friend�s birthday. I can�t say he�s my very own dearest friend, but he�s a good friend to my band and has supported us by coming to our shows and just being a genuinely nice person. He was in one of my favorite bands, Annex, and one of the most talented bassists I have ever met. He and BJ could talk for hours comparing their instruments.

He�s having his birthday party at Maloney�s tonight. There is only one bad side to this. He won�t be there. This past summer he was in a fatal motorcycle accident and he is greatly missed here in the Green Bay music community. We are all getting together to celebrate his life. I think I heard there will be several bands playing and co5 will be there to celebrate with everyone.

We miss you Tommy, Happy Birthday. (he�s the guy on the right)
