Hi Erin, just to let you know there are two new songs posted on my page: a wonderful remix by The Monkeynauts and 'Long Ago'. Please take a listen if you get time. Many thanks, Kevin.
Hi Erin. Thanks for adding me. Your music does exactly as it says on the tin: Sounds like late 60s early 70s reggae. Takes me back to my youth. Nice meeting you on Saturday. Hope to talk to you again at some point. Have a great week, Kevin.
