hello. my name is thano j. lomiento and i am an exceptional guitarist who is interested in possibly replacing buckethead on some bill laswell projects. i realize that this email will probably go unread by mr. laswell as he is extremely busy.

but nothing ventured, nothing gained. it seems to me that buckethead has become extremly busy himself ( god bless him ) w/ the whole g n r thing. i honestly feel that i can more than fill his shoes in some of the roles laswell has used him in. specifically praxis.

bill....if you do read this please write back.
