Hi Tim, Dave matthews is awesome, do you know that since he left South Africa he has never done a show here. I don't even know how many people would even know who is and how awesome the DMB is. My brother is good friends with his cousin so we are kept up to speed with DVD's and CD's.
You guys should all come out here sometime and we have a huge jam session. It's really cheap with your dollars in our country.

Tony, You guys have so much opportunity to see the best of the best. I live in Cape Town, South Africa where they get excited because James Blunt was in Town. How bad is that. Our market and audience is just too small for anybody to consider touring here.
We do have some seriously talented guitarists here but they will always just be small time entertainers in pubs etc.
