I'm from Sarasota and my son used to play with 606 (formally The Sharks) He plays Tampa now with First Victor. He knows John well. I have met him and he is a real nice guy and a great musician. I last spoke with John before he went to Nashville. Anyway have a safe and fun cruise.

Used to live in South Florida (Parkland/Coral Springs) and miss the cruise along alligator alley in our 99 C5 vert (Artic White). Your picture brings back a lot of memories.




Have a safe trip up and welcome to NC!
