Thanks for the hit, my friend! I must say, there are not too many poets I LEARN from, grab wisdom through inhalations and exhalations, but you.....I look forward to breathing. Thank you!
Calm, yet intense and passionate. Special performances on each track that manage to transcend genre and speak with an eye-witness authority. Looking forward to hearing more.
