Best wishes at this great and festive rememberance of the Bahrain Debacle,,Dec 25th 1911,,Ant versus Squatter,, only sqautter had left for home that morning,,leaving the ant hi and dry..and sipping on a martini ,in a bemused manner in front of a massed media..claiming he was there purely to promote Cigar sells.
Just wanted to take a moment to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas, and all the best of success in 2010. 2010??? Where does that time go???? Love your album 'Significance'. Great stuff.
