Bummed that we haven't been able to make it to the Rochester shows lately, so much going on this summer. Hope to see you soon, still need to pick up the latest cd.
Hi Mark! Had to stop by for my "Love This Life" fix this morning--it is such a sublimely beautiful love song. I have to say that I've been married to Jack for 35 years almost and the feeling of that song still describes me as far as he's concerned! But...got to get us a bird dog named Patsy Cline!! (lol--just kidding--please don't change the words!)
Hey Mark! It was great to hear your name today on the telephone. . .hope all is going great in Nashville! You're such a talented writer and a nice guy too--you're bound to have success there! All the best, Charlotte
Hey bud! Our agent just called and we're being swept off again tomorrow for this week instead of having it off. Hope all goes well with the party sat night!! Wish I could have made it out, but duty calls. I'll get in touch next time I'm in town again.
Hey Mark! It was GREAT to meet you this past week! I am a fan of your music. I am so stuck on "Love This Life"--what an amazing melody and soaring lyric. Hope we meet again in Nashville!
Hey I see some of the other Cloydtones have been here too and didn't want to be left out. I agree with Barbara that "Love This Life" is hooky as hell. Hope to see you again sometime. Cam
