Hey Lars!!
Man, you are like an oasis in a scorching desert. I sincerely love your work. Been listening to you on XM until "The Move" went away thanks to the XM/Sirius merger. Bummer. Been logging into deepershades.net ever since to get my fix.
I had the honor of meeting Frankie Knuckles in Chicago back when I was a college student, and have been desperately hooked on house ever since. Not much in the way of house down here in the bayou, so keep us jacking down here!! (How's that for old school house?)
I'm interested in combining my African diaspora hand drumming and percussion expertise with some deep house grooves.
I have played the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival as featured conguero under the direction of renowned jazz clarinetist Mr. Alvin Batiste, (may he rest in peace.)

Any suggestions you might have would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks!
