Thanks a lot for the compliments Stuart....I would say the same about you. We'll be coming to me play in London in March... Why not meeting us there? Take care
Thanks very much for your precious time and the request, Stuart! I'm glad you enjoyed listening to Wild Fires. Your words warm my heart, it's a pleasure to hear that the music makes an impact on others. I create for others... The lyrics and more info about the song can be found in my blog. Anyway, I put a new song on my site; it's called Lost and Found. It's an intercontinental co-creation with a Brazilian friend of mine.(more in the latest blog post)

yes so dont knwo if it makes sense or not maybe some films from the 301S AS WELL but here you are: "lovagias ügy" -"gentleman case" or something Lila Ákác - i cant translate this one:D Címzett ismeretlen - all of these are great kind of funny, and also gives back the feelings of that period in Hungary i think so, but i dont knwo how this feels for soembody whos not hungarian, well maybe still can be interesting. I didnt see them live, and anyway quite irritating that every bad stops by Wien, how can i get some songs of you anyway ? "watching the tv, trying hard to find a reason to move i'm frozen in one place, staring at the screen listening to the rain falling on the street some days go on too long and no one can hang out tonight here, where the carpet is cool and soft, underneath the clock i feel my weary heart is put to rest you gather around your friends" im listening to bright eyes, when so many things are to be done:) Zake care Stuart Stefxxx
yes it seems to be that its the Hoax:) well would you need certain film names:)? Funny ones ? well i know quite lots, i kind of collect them on dvds, a bit weird though , mean have these old white -black films on dvds:)Yeah reckon i added you because i qliked your songs and i wanted to drop a comment about this but i almost forgot:) have a lovely day , and take care you too Stef
