Dear Mark,

I am deeply sorry to learn about the sad death of your bass player Mark Smith. RIP indeed! When I heard the news I was stunned.

My genuine and deepest sympathy to his family, friends and of course and the band.

Hi Mark, How’s Everything? Let’s be honest, we know you’re busy and have lots of choices. We’re hoping you’ll spend a few minutes and give our new song a spin… As always, we thank you for your time and opinion. It means a lot to us. Johnny

Thanks for listening, Mark, we really appreciate it. And when I praised your bowling, it might have sounded like I didn't enjoy your batting, which is definitely not true!

Put some soul in it, Mark!

Hi Mark, I'm endorsed by Gibson they gave me already 3 guitars, and this is happening only in the States I believe. Great!

I'm well thank you. What about you what are you up to?

Hey Butch, loving the tunes!

Cricket will miss you, but it looks like you'll be as successful at soul! We remember your viscious swinging deliveries as much as your batting, but now we'll remember your songs.

Take care

Alex, If She Floats
