Hello everybody were back! I’m just dropping a line to let you know what’s been going on in Abstract land. First off, I’m taking some time off from the acoustic gig at Mickey Flynn’s. We had a great time at those 20 or so shows there. It’s a great place with great people go check it out if you have not been there yet. Me and the boy’s have been working hard at this project for about 10 months now ,so a little time off before this last show was very nice. Here s what else we have been doing, in chronological order. Joe I. broke his leg and decided to take a carpet threading class to help make the time go by.

Mosquito Joe was adducted by aliens AGAIN! Jay Chaffee went on a spiritual vacation to meet the Dahlilama , and me, well I just watched TV and played house with Tom Caserino. On a serious note, I would like to thanks all of you for coming to the shows. We had a blast, and I would especially like to thank my band and everyone involved, the radio stations for playing my songs WOW! The press, my film crew, all clubs and all the people for coming out. So our last show will be at Steel Music HAll Sun July 16^th around 7PM. We are filming a live DVD and you are all invited. I will be having either an open bar or a buffet so let me know if you can make it. I know a lot of you have like I do in my family so they are invited too. I promise not to FLASH anybody.

Peace out! JJ

But In the meantime, I will be hosting an open acoustic jam every Wednesday at Mickey Flynn’s on the corner of Winton Rd. and Blossom. The jam goes from 10-1. So tell some friends bring your guitar, bring your voice, play a song or two or pair up with a pal or someone new. They have great drink specials and a fine snack menu.
