Hey, thanks John, Good to connect with a like minded soul. You're right about the ghost of Lowell, he's been an influence for a long, long time. Exellent work, keep it up my friend. Best wishes from Sydney's Northern beaches!
Thanks for the comment, I really like your songs as well. I can definitely hear a Stills influence in them. Munich is one of my favourite cities too. If I'm ever there while you're playing a gig I'll check it out.
