    ..Heyyyy hunny! How are you doing? Loving the new Tunes and its good to see people still on MySpace! Hope you had a great Christmas. Just found out I'm coming back to see you at the OC Fair. Ive a pit seat, not right on the front row but almost and off over Steves side again. Thanks for the great WoWAY award video. I reckon you should have claimed it on behalf of Vikki De Vries and not let Jon have it!! ;)
     You're always a winner anyway and how I laughed. You're a great comedian.
     Really got a much greater appreciation of the music since Alfest. That was fantastic! and nice to see new tunes go up. All the best Ruben dear, and I know everybody thinks I'm just that crazy English lady.. but you guys all brighten my life so much, you have no idea! See you in just under seven months. Hope you'll let me come say hello after coming so far
     Love YOU mucho

    I really don't have words to say how wonderful your Satie Abridged is
     Erik Satie has been one of my favourite composers since I was a kid. This is quite quite beautiful Ruben dear! :)

    What a delight it was to see you again! (and also on UStreamTV)

    All my love
