Strange as it is, I've heard of you before, Miss Bonar, and in fact have been listening to you for a couple of years now -- without ever being aware that you had a solo career going. On Armchair Apocrypha, that is ... my favorite album to begin a roadtrip with. It's a revelation to hear your music now, I'm very glad to have stumbled upon it (courtesy of CD Baby). I'll keep listening.
And if you have a moment, will you come by and listen to a couple of my songs? I read on your page that you like "old folk and blues" ... well, I do too, as you might easily gather. ;)
i have many artists that i've added... but you are the only one i've ever posted a comment to... and the main reason is because i believe in you... i believe you can go far and i hope only the best for you... i first heard you sing when i saw you in concert with mason jennings... but i liked you more than him at that point... i guess maybe since life isn't going so great right now maybe thats why i'm posting this... but life hasn't been good for me for as long as i remember so im just gunna say that it's because i straight up love you and your music right now... don't change a thing... i believe greatness is coming your way... the one who will only write once... t-rave
