Hi John, I'm at your website now, listening to all the music you've put up there.... WOW!!! I've started at the top with "As the Sun Goes Down", which is phenomenal..I love it! The words, the funky-bluesy music, this one really struck a chord. I also see all the familiar favourites there too - "Ivory Tower", "Closer", "Bible White", and stuff from Youngwolf....oh dear, it looks like I'll be here for a while. I'm going to work my way down the line, until I finish, or keel over. Thank youso much for putting all this luscious music out there for us to listen to....and buy!
With grateful hugs from across the Pond, Mary-Cat xxx
