Hey, nic! My man! Just a quick kite to let you know I's thinkin boutchu and well-wishin ya! Let the good times twist! Or twist up the good times! Or somethin-- let 'er rip! Boogie chillun!
Thank you for the CDs. They blew my mind. There were 2 albums out of the three that you send that I enjoyed the most. I liked the song "Greenland Rider" the most followed by "It could have been a dream". I wanted to wait and write up a long review of the albums where I commented on everything, but each time I listen I get a different reaction from the album.
Your work transcends time and space and I am very impressed with your talent. Take care and keep on making your trippy and some times frightening music.
well all i can say is that you'd be signing a legal contract with a real label, yer family would be getting checks for years to come, possibly after you are gone .... no joke no BS s
You've really been having a heck of a time!!! Glad your still with us, cause I've taken a liken to you to. You just get some rest, and get to feeling better. I hope your son will be ok. I'll be thinking of ya both. I was very glad to hear from ya. Big Hugz to ya!!!!
Well, you've been through the wringer... Haven't you, Nic? I'm sorry to hear about everything that's happened. I'm glad you're still here & I hope you're ok. I hope your son is getting better, too.
