You may have forgotten me but I met you at the Hopbrook Tavern when you were with Dana and David was having a liver transplant. I have moved to Portland, OR and sent an email to Desiree Bassett about how I miss her playing on stage with Tim McDonald at Sully's. I miss the Tree with you and Teague and friends and the Hungry Tiger in Manchester. Anyway I got an email from Desiree's father and he wanted to know if I could arrange a place to play for you and her and others in Portland. I thought the Aladdin is a great cozy venue for such talent as yours and hers. YES will be there on Valentine's Day Leo Kottkie has played there Aimee Mann etc. It's a great venue. I also had a dear friend Dave Cawthon who went to Simsbury High, Berklee in Boston, and taught 30 students guitar. He was in a few bands, one called H, Jeff he could play with you, he was mesmerizing. He killed himself this summer by stabbing himself. He thought no young players had passion anymore. I wish he could have met you and heard Desi before he did what he did. I told Desi's father I would try to arrange something with you and her, why not Teague and McDonald too? I would love to hear back from you if you are interested so I can get back to Desi's father. It would be great to have a bunch of Connecticutians in one place ripping the northwest this year. I miss the Hopbrook, and I miss watching you in the basement of the ONE WAY FARE. I hope you are well. Please get back to me on your thoughts Jeff. Old friend and fan Ken Accardi.
