During the radio show Tommy talked about his career, the people he met or worked with in the past and his upcoming cd with "Phil Brown and the Apaches from Paris" managed by David Spero (Joe Walsh, The Eagles, Yusuf/Cat Stevens). Within the last 10/15 minutes Tommy also announced that he is collaborating on songs with me. The radio show ended with the instrumental music of our first song.
What Tommy says about me :
"You trully are an inspiration to me as an artist, and your songs show what a wonderful heart beats inside you. I'm grateful to have you as a friend and a partner in composing some great songs".
Tommy and Phil Brown are currently working on a different version of our song "US ROUTE 66" (Lynn/Naroun) with new arrangements, Tommy does the keyboards and Phil does the guitars and vocals.
Phil is a singer/songwriter/guitarist who worked with Cher, Kool and the Kang, Kenny Loggins, Tommy Bolin, Deep Purple, Michael Bolton, Gary Wright, Pat Benatar, Bonnie Tyler, Kim Carnes and many more.

That's great news about U.S Route 66,and working with Phil Brown. I got to meet Phil last year,and saw him perform. He has an interesting playing and singing style that is all but signature in nature. Would love to hear the finished version. Till then,it's always a pleasure to hear from you.

I like what you are doing and the direction you are taking it. I too am serious and professional about my writing and have made some great connections along the way. Just posted 3 new songs on my site. Have a listen if you have a minute.....Good luck and maybe we will work together sometime......
As Michael Jackson recently said in one of his last interviews, "The most important part of writing a song is the lyrics... the story within it". I know how talented you must be to write words that create emotion yet blend perfectly with melody and timing. You certainly have that gift Kate. You also have the most beautiful site on Myspace. Sincerely, Sim
Je suis en tournée non-stop et ensuite je rentre en studio cet hiver, c'est un peu dingue mais palpitant. Je ne désespère pas de te rencontrer lors d'un passage à Lyon, gardons bien le contact !
you are an absolutely amazing song writer. I hope one day to be lucky (and good) enough to cover one of your songs. But you write beautifully, and you have an intricacy yet an accessability to your music that is very rare to find. I'm sorry someone has done wrong by you (from your messages)...don't forget...get even...LOL... You're going to go place in the music industry...you have a rare talent. Garret
There are times in the day,that I drift on to your site,just to hear your songs! You my dear friend have this deep insight to hit upon the "Human Condition".

Thanks for the friendship and we can talk about future projects when time permits.
