I just sat down and listened to "A box of Chocolates" that I bought from you this weekend. I don't have any idea what constitutes a commercially successful CD, but I think I can recognize GREAT musicianship and GREAT music. "A box of Chocolates" certainly is going to be one of my all time favorite CD's. It is hard to know how to thank someone for just being who they are. LOL but, thanks anyway! Mark Berenson
