You guys are awesome! So good to hear and talk and play with you at ABC No-Rio, and your Frantasia performance was just beautiful. Thanks for your creative energy, and we'll up again soon,
Good to see you on another page at myspace. Very glad to see you Blaise with Robyn. This is a combination we don't hear much in this end of the music. I haven't forgotten about the string project Robyn.
Happy to see you both here. Wish I could make it to your show this evening - sounds wonderful. I miss Maine. Had a cottage up there for the first 30 years of my life...
