Hey Faune!
Höre seit Freitag Nacht beinahe ununterbrochen eure Balladen Cd. Sie ist einfach Fantastisch und erinnert mich ein bisschen an meine Kinderheit .
Besonders toll finde ich (obwohl fast alle gut sind) der wilde Wassermann und Sen Polska.
Hätte ich nicht schon vor einem Jahr wegen "Wind und Geige" von euch mit der Harpa angefangen, würde ich es spätestens jetzt tun. ;-)
Großartig, macht weiter so.
Ganz liebe Grüße Sandra

Hallo ihr Faune,

ich hätte eure Cd auch gerne, aber ich renn ihr schon seit dem 20. hinterher...
immer Lieferschwierigkeiten, dann im anderen Cd-Laden ist sie schon komplett weg...hoff dass ich sie am nächsten MIttwoch dann endlich besitze.

Wenn ich nicht wüßte, dass ihr es absolut wert seid, würde ich drauf verzichten :)

Liebe Grüße von eurer äußerst geduldigen
Birgit
