Hi Lica! Thank's for the request! I'm tickled pink to have you on my list of friends... You have a very nice voice and your song is really cool! Keep it up! Take care and God bless! :)
Merci pour ton amitié. Paul Sutin et Phil Collins sont des gens bien, tu es entre d'excellentes mains! Les studios de Paul sont probablement les meilleurs au monde.
Tu es entrée dans mon coeur dès la première fois que je t'ai vue et entendue sur la TSR, et tu y occupes une place spéciale. Ton don, ton talent t'amèneront très, très loin. Je te souhaite tout ce qu'il y a de mieux.
