Muito obrigado pelas palavras simpaticas, és uma granda querida!!! Ja ouvi os teus outros projectos e continuo sem palavras... é demasiado bom... Espero que nunca pares de ter sucesso! Vai aparecendo, em breve vou por novidades mais fixes e umas surpresas de dar a volta ao estomago hahaha! Beijinhos e muito obrigado !!
Oi Ana, ouvi nem sei o que chamar.. obras-primas, e fiquei desmotivado, descobri que afinal não sou um musico, mas um reles amador... Agora TU??? Não me ocorrem muitas palavras porque ainda estou de boca aberta pelo que te ouvi tocar.. Talvez exímia? perfeita? hyper-talentosa? A sério há bons musicos e há pessoas como tu.. Incriveis! Desejo-te muita sorte e continuação de um excelentíssimo trabalho, talvez um dia tenha o previlégio de te ver ao vivo.
Thank you so much! You are quite talented! You play with sensitivity and thoughtfulness creating beautiful music that inspires and delights! Wishing you all the best, Marc
