Letter from Ron Dante (2006.2.4)
Ron at the Cannery Casino Las Vegas (Photos courtesy of Mr. Ron Dante)Hello Hiroshi. Just wanted to say hello and let you know what I've been up to. I'm not doing that Everly Brothers cd this year. I'm working on "California Weekend" which will be my new spring/summer cd. I'm attaching a mp3 of one of the cuts. It's called "California Nights". All the best to you. Your friend. Ron
