happy birthday Paper Windows

Hi all… Rob here.

Yup… we’ve got ourselves a little one year old on our hands. And although we’ve had our moments and it’s been pretty hard, it’s actually been pretty damn fun. :mrgreen:

Actually the hardest part has been finding the time to get together to rehearse.

We all have regular full time, grown-up type jobs, kids and families that keep us busy. All in all though… it’s been great fun making music with these two friends of mine.

So here’s how it started. After I initially asked John and Jen via e-mail on Feb 21st they both agreed. And on the 23rd I sent this to them.

When we formed we were shooting for our first gig to be the Houston UU Music Fest so we tried to meet often and get ready for that. It was AWESOME! We got a choice time-slot and had about 150 to 200 people listening to us.

During the past year we’ve played a few open mics, a few parties for friends, have a standing gig at our church (check us out on a first Sunday if you get a chance) and even opened for Texas Music Award nominee Robert Frith.

We’re looking forward to what the future holds for us and hope to release our first CD by the time December rolls around.

Thanks to our fans the Sills. You support us in amazing ways.

Rob
