Some Wed or thursday I will make the bandwidth to really enjoy more of your artistry since Zep days which I also still love - You have the classical, the Jazz, the Blues, Abstract and Rock in your feeling tones as you caress your axe . What better way to enjoy a few hours , so I will be reminding myself of your melodies and come to be nourished by them soon -
