Hi there Hilton,
I've moved to the States 'at last'. Now I'm here and I feel very far from anything familiar. It's a strange and unpleasant feeling.
I hope someday you'll come to play in WA. I really do; that was rottenly unfortunate I couldn't go to the gig; I didn't have a car of my own etc etc.
Anyway I hope you're alright. You know, the Skiffledog album, I repeat, is an appeasing album. It really gets a person back to basics. Thanks for recording it and letting me have a copy :)
Peace to you

Hilton, I just got myself hired by an English indie band to be their lyricist, after some e-mails going back and forth- they've already recorded one of the poems I sent them. They've been playing gigs around their area, they're preparing summer festivals and they've played live on BBC Worcestershire (spelling???) and now they're being scouted by a bigger label. I'm really honored to work with these kids- they're very professional- and they seem to enjoy my writing enough; with this role they gave me, do you have any tips as to give 200% in your writing potential in every piece? I mean, I never expected to be writing poems for songs, really...
