Well, my legs may not be as nimble as they once were...but it is so nice to listen to your music, close my eyes, and in my head I am gliding across a marble ballroom floor. And for that dear sir, I thank you. Timeless!

Damon,
Thanksgiving was a joy due in large part to the fact that I got to see you and Andrew. I wonder if you recognize the absolute joy you bring my soul every time I see you. James was bummed that he didn't get to hear you sing, but he was in N.D. visiting family there.
I envy your sister, wish I had a brother like you to brag about!!!! rhiannon

Reading through your influences, it seems that you and I subscribe to the same pantheon of gods.
You have a wonderful style.
