sooo... i found some time for etymology- 'luke' in lukewarm is from from the middle english 'leuk' which means tepid. It's obsolete now other than its use in 'lukewarm.' it is speculated to have come from middle dutch 'leuk,' middle frisian 'leuk,' or old english 'hleowe.'

Hi Jon!!!,

Please stop by and check out my newest song "LOVE VINE DIVINE".
I'm breaking new ground with this one and I think you'll like the vocal harmonies and rocking rhythm guitar.
Let me know what you think! I'm trying to develop different sounds and your input is really appreciated. Thank you as always!

All the best. Johnny
