    Hello Julie! I noticed a few of my friends had added you guys on bebo, so I had to join! =]
    *It's Yvonne Watsons daughter ;o )*
    Your music is really awesome! I saw you guys last year at Drummonds so it was a shame to not be able to see you this Hallowe'en. However, I'll check out when the next gig is on :D !
    Hope you had a good time!
