Happy to find you on here and hear that John is releasing the compilation CD. Along with the other WJ and Earworm releases, your records were a real inspiration for me to go down the DIY route when I was starting writing and recording music. For that, and for some great tunes, I thank you.
Such Beautiful sounds...we have always been in awe of your gorgeous tunes. "Be like the stars" is in all honesty one of the best songs ever written. Thanks so much for finding us. Avrocar.
