Most of what's worth knowing about me, you can probably find in a song. I always draw a blank when faced with an "about me" prompt - I guess I'm much better at telling you about myself when there's a guitar and a story involved.
My goal is not to have a million people on my page who I never interact with, but to find and know and share with those people who are genuinely touched by my music, whether they turn out to number 5 or 5,000. I don't really care if I ever get famous. I just want to work with what I've been given to the best of my ability, and maybe be able to say that I did something good while I was here.
Anyway, thank you for listening.

My dear new friend, thank you for your beautiful words and I am thankful for your kind request. I read you "about me" section and I can tell you have a sincere and open heart. Not that many people reach such maturity these days, and it is "my honor" to call you "friend." You speak what you really feel and I respect the fact that you sing for the love of music and art and not for fame and what it comes with it.
You have a very lovely voice and I hope the world will eventually discover the treasure within you.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving day in the company of all your love ones. Your new friend, Ricardo. xo
P.S. Thank you sooo much for taking the time to read some of my blogs. It means the world to me. =)

Hey Summer - I'm very glad that our paths have crossed. Both your vocals and guitar are very beautiful, very soulful, and go together lifting each other up in the best of ways. I've enjoyed getting to explore your site and listen to your work. I think that 2009 will be a good year for you indeed.

I've loved your music ever since I was fortunate to happen upon it here on Myspace. "Hope Found a Hummingbird" is beautiful, and I do hope you enter it in the contest you mentioned.
My two favorites of your songs have been "Foot on the Floor" and "Your Mocking Mouth," both songs tinged with sadness, bringing to the surface memories that may best be left behind. This new song accomplishes what I think you intended, to bring hope and light to the listener. At least, it did for me.
