Hi Mark, so after a 2 hour morning rehearsal and then an 8 hr drive to Montreal I found your email at midnight last night. So in a quiet space with some headphones I listened until 1 am

First off, thank you for your incredibly kind words. I have so enjoyed the few chats we have had and I really hope those were not the only chats we get to have. 

As nervous as I was to open the links...haha I remembered how comfortable you made me feel being interviewed about my music. Other then I forgot to remember not talk so fast! It is an awesome interview and I loved every minute of it. Thank you so much for this opportunity. 

The one thing I did on my website to get the ball rolling with my own music right after we spoke, was put up a picture of myself with a guitar in the montage on the front page...but now it's time to showcase the songs. 

Thank you so much for all you do to help independent artists get their music and thoughts out to the world, that is such a gift. 

Until we talk again!
