"Joe Huettner makes the world a better place" - Jess Blasko, Ithaca, New York Originally from a small farm in South Central Pennsylvania, JOE HUETTNER's pursuits in music led him to the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where he plans to major in Songwriting. “I don't think people want to hear about sadness all the time, and that seems to be a majority of the songs on the radio now,” says Huettner. “I want to get some happiness out there, but without sacrificing musical quality. However, if a sad song is written, I won't hesitate to let people hear it. Unless it sucks." As well as Songwriting, Joe's interests include playing the electric bass, reading up on Roman history, and being a diehard fan of the Boston Red Sox.

Story behind the song
"This was a project for a class at Berklee (College of Music). Brian had a verse that he had written beforehand, and I had a chorus that I had been dying to use for the last year. And surprisingly, they worked out extremely well." - J.G.H. Why Skee-ball? "It was a mutual memory of ours. Brian, like myself, is an avid fan of playing Skee-ball at any fair, amusement park, or arcade where it can be found."
Lyrics
Remember what you wrote in my yearbook Summer before ninth grade Said, "you always made me laugh And you're not like the rest P.S. stay sweet, don't change" Leafing through the pages Matched the picture to your words Before we could look back Four years came and went And I'm left with just a ghost of what we were And I wish I could write something To the girl looking up at me Chorus: To Jessie, care of 1999 I'm just dropping you a line So you'll remember All the times we'll have together To Jessie at a time when she was mine To Jessie, care of 1999 We're gonna have a good time Skipping classes every spring Skee-ball at the fair And walking hand in hand Proud to be a king beside his queen I wish we'd have known this castle wouldn't stand But let's not forget it (Chorus) P.S. stay sweet, don't change ---- Joe Huettner: Vocals Brian Hull: Acoustic Guitar
