Hey, man. I have to tell you, your music truly touches my soul. I'm a 16 year old American girl, and I gotta say, I can relate to your songs better than most artists. You're so talented and so beautiful. Your voice and lyrics are bone-chilling. You should visit us in the Carolinas sometime. Peace and Harmony~ Chelle J.

Hello! sorry, Stephen, I couldn..t make it to your show. hope it was good.we will play together in about three weeks, did you know?! Looking forward to that or a coffee or something before.

hey, thanks for the lovely pictures, Germany truly is DS-land! I wish I had such nice pictures to send you from rainy old England. Am half-tempted to post some shunga on here, since that's all I'm working with these days, but I guess the powers that be might censor that anyway...So let's go for books out there with weird titles
