Anne Marie, great to be connected! Your music and voice are simply beautiful! Best luck with your new album and all your coming projects! Jag önskar dig allt det bästa! Varma hälsningar, Christos Stassinopoulos - tenor
Hello Anne Marie! I always love your beautiful tracks!! I'll be ready with my new instrumental work for the end of November.. And you what do you tell me about you? I hope you're well. All my best, Giorgio
Hi Anne Marie, Thanks for adding me as a friend on myspace. I enjoyed listening to your music which is very beautiful and ethereal. I hope that you may find time to listen to some of my material. Best wishes. Will.
It's an honour to be your friend....You are a great singer and a beautiful woman! D. Thompson is one of my favourite double -bass player, besides E. Weber and C. Mingus. I've seen him in the 70' with Pentangle. I play double-bass too..that I've studied for many years when I was a guy, and enjoy many other instruments. Now I play for hobby, together with my job (doctor), but I'm very happy to discover one new great artist like you. Many greets from Mauro.
Anne Marie Almedal: Colum Dermot O'Kelly has introduced your music to me. Indeed he was correct about you. Obviously I see a good prospect and potential in you. Wonderful tranquilizing voice, soothing music, lovely lyrics and sound arrangements. You are a knowledgeable vocalist who performs scientific music. Go for it girl. With Politically Correct Nobel Prize So-Called Scholars, their wheeling and dealings and Socialism, nothing great has came out of Norway since the Vikings and now suddenly you! Keep up the good work and my best to you. Cheers Ahreeman X .
