Hey, I have not said hello in a while. How is it? I love the vinyl you sent. It sounds great. We posted a new song- "Save My Salvation" Check It out- Have fun out there- Sam
I was not expecting the violin on "In Heaven". It sort of crept up on me in the mix. Keep Up the great work- writing and producing takes alot of time, but it is worth it- Have A Great Holiday- Sam
