Hey everyone! Happy New Year! (ya, I know it is already February, but I’m still writing 2009 on everything, so it sure still feels NEW!) So I hope you have read the blog by Matt W., the winner of the Suite Caroline Strawbery Jam Contest – http://www.u224u.com/pages/suite-caroline-jam-casting. We are really having fun working together. Did you know he played piano for 10 whole years before he recently took up the guitar? (and I know he will never put it down now!!:) His music background is making it really easy for him to learn guitar. He knows WAY more music theory than I do. He writes his own stuff, which you know I think is totally cool. We hope to play 4 songs together at Matt’s showcase with me at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City on March 6th – more details to come . Stop by and show us some love if you can!! Then I will take the MAIN stage with my band at 1pm. It is going to be outrageously awesome. Please come if you can!! GTE Federal Credit Union is sponsoring the shows. The show is free and kids get in free to the Strawberry Festival on that day. You can watch our shows, and then eat some Strawberry Shortcake and then ride some rides! O, wait, maybe if you are going on fast rides that flip upside down you should eat your shortcake AFTER! LOL!!!!

Get inspired about money by looking into a GTE Federal Credit Union U22 youth checking account for 12 to 22 year olds. It pretty much rocks!
