[quote="raymond"]I'll write the forward....or give you a quote for the back - no - BOTH! Yes. :lol:[/quote]

I'll do my part.....

I will read it! :lol:

And will do my part in promoting it to everyone I ever talk to and the way I jabber, it will be toooooooooo many to count!

I get the credit about the idea of the book.

But honestly. It might be kind of fun to write a book. For real.

Hehehehehe...OMFG...you know what the thought actually went through my head when I read your comment. I should ask the guys if they would let me tour with them for awhile and write a book about their life on the road..that would be so much fun!!!!

Probably a dumb (or unanswerable) questionable, but what songs are about Jasin? Cuz the only two I thought worked well with his situation was Cry for Help and What A Shame (but I knew it was about his uncle). The only other two I might make a case for are Breaking Inside and...Call Me? Other than that I can't see any other song on the CD being about Jasin.

Sweet we have a bus drive now we just need a bus...LOL I agree with you on the album!!!!

One of my relations thru marriage knows the man who owns the company, just outside eugene, who makes the "rock star" buses.

Wonder if he could, ya know, donate to the cause.... ;)
