Hi, I just wanted to tell you what a fabulous singer I think you are. I was listening to your recording of Passion Dance and it just knocks me out! Thank you so much!
GUITARSLAND BOLOGNA presenta: "Amici Myspace"..... la grande iniziativa promozionale su strumenti musicali e accessori riservata agli "amici di myspace" - Vieni a trovarci nel nuovo grande negozio di Bologna - via Bovi Campeggi, 6a - zona stazione - 40131
Thanks so much for the Add–and your friendship. We enjoyed your music very much. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. It's a pleasure having you among our friends! We've added two blogs about Umano, plus four more new compositions, making ten on our page. We hope you and your friends visit us and enjoy our music, too. We wake up every morning and play the music of the new MySpace friends who have arrived at our site during the night. It occurred to us that these friends (you are among them) are almost universally positive, whether they be novices or legends, and without regard to their station in life or the country they occupy. Although it's not an original thought, it also occurred to us that we couldn’t hold a verbal conversation with most of these friends, but we have bridged that gap by expressing our art honestly with each other. We all have been filling the world with our music and art, in the hope that our messages of love and human understanding will have an impact on the world at large. What a gift and what an opportunity we have received from this technology!
Hi Roseanna, Thanks for adding me! It's nice to connect with the lovely voice that I first heard singing Ivan Lins' Comecar de Novo in '91. Wishing you continued success! All Best, Mark
Dear Roseanna, All I can say is WOW! I was listening to Rhapsody the other day and a song came on...and I thought I love this voice so I clicked to play the whole album without realizing it was you one of my first myspace friends. The song was 'Wild Is The Wind' from your album 'Softly'
OMG! I've said it before and I'll say it again you are just fantastic. There is a timeless essence to your voice that is both nostalgic and current at the same time. Just, just, just brilliant!
