[Christene LeDoux Subject: Re: little-wings: Kris in Acoustic Guitar magazine! Hey Erik! Hi! Long time no see or hear.... Actually, you know what it is....you must have come to a show of mine in San Jose...or close.... because you are on my mailing list! I think it was at Blue Rock Shoot lat year.....? Thanks for the compliment! I'm kinda...no very, embarassed because the music at my web site is VERY old...as in, the first songs I ever wrote! Ack!! Those suckers need to come off...:) I have some newer ones up at mp3.com..... http://www.mp3.com/ChristeneLeDoux Check them out if you can/want....:) So...I discovered Kris at the same show as you! Small world! Catie was a teacher at my music camp so some of us went to see her and that's where Kris popped up! It was also Weatherman that drew me in...:) I also remember running into you at the Kris show with my friend Jenny Burtis. Did you know she used to manage Catie back in the days? :) Jenny is a wonderful, wonderful songwriter in her own right too.... Good to hear from you...hope to see you soon.... I'm opening for "Box Set" on April 20th at the Noe Valley Ministry...I hope you can come! They are really, really amazing and a S.F treasure. :) Hope to see you soon...take care warmest, Christene At 10:53 PM 4/3/2002 -0800, Erik Ostrom wrote: >Hey...
