Hooray for Joe Montone!

howdy james! yes!

Perhaps Mr. M is a persona of Stevie P.

howdy, amy!

He could be a subroutine of TAndy

interesting theory, amy

@Amy, no... MrM is more like my brother from another mother

true, stevie p!

Has anyone met either in person and if so, have they been seen in the same room at the same time...?

i haven't met either, but i think i safely say although they are bros from a diff mother, their personalities are distinct lol

Hello! Hey Steve Garvey of Buzzcocks playing this weekend in Doylestown, PA at the Moravian Tileworks. Saturday 6pm doors. His 3 piece local band Reeder Station opens up for The VosTones. Should be great time. https://www.thetileworks.org/events
