Your work is truly luminous, and transcends music, becoming an entirely new art form. I love your ethos and your honesty, your artistic brilliance is undeniable! And your sumptuous tones transfix the space-time in which it operates, and coalesces, into an entirely new form, immersed in the rarest cashmere and precious silks, ebbing, onto warm, muted, horizons, rivaled only by an Impressionist master! This is more than art, this is more than music, this is magic. I have much respect for you, and your artistry! I profoundly love your work, and greatly admire your talent and your sophistication.

Take care my friend, and I wish you much glory and happiness...btw, your originals are great but did you ever think of doing a homestyle sendup of California Dreaming? Eh? Eh? Eh? Thank me later!
