Hi Bonar,
I love your new track with Skye Wallace!! I think it's a hit. Cool.
Good luck with the album.

Hey Champ
Thanks a lot for the kind words. I was really surprised that I was chosen for that radio contest. But it's a great honor to be chosen for a show like Alan Cross's. Even just to be nominated.
Hows life on your end?
