Hi Conrad, this is your Rocky Narrator letting you know that I did talk to Vince Birkett and he is interested in playing the shows (BBB) but I can’t find the sheet with all the Rocky phone numbers. If you e-mail me your number, I will give it to Vince or I can get his for you if you would rather contact him. I will be ther tonight so we can figure it out then, also.
