[Slowhand] Mayer

[Sam Mangano]

hey kristian:

have you ever seen bonamassa live? when i spoke to him after the last 
cleveland show, he said he was going to miss the crossroads show (he was 
invited) because he would be touring europe at the time. hopefully, he will 
be swinging by denmark if you havent already had a chance to see him 
live.....

regards
sam
