    Adam-


    Just wanted to tell you how moved I am by your music.  Your lyrics are absolutely brilliant and your music is so beautiful.  Every melody is just absolutely excellent.  I saw you perform one of Nick Blaemire's tunes at "If It Only Even Runs A Minute" and it was such fun.  I hope everything's going well with your writing.

    If you have a minute to look at any of my stuff on my page- I would be so appreciative.  The elegance that you achieve through your songs is something I strive to someday accomplish.

    Hope you're well,
    Alex

    PS:  I love everything you do- but for some reason all of the harmonic choices in "Lost Buildings" hit me to the core.  The lyric is just as brilliant and matches it so perfectly.

    I recently found your music. I like what I have heard. Personally I really enjoy Gotta Get Out and I'll Be Here. Your characters have a sort of depth which is great. I wish you the best of luck.
