Being that you posted this online 6 years ago, you'll probably never see this comment, but being that I just discovered you (and Rachael) two days ago after hearing a replay of the interview you did with NPR's "Fresh Air", I felt a need to write this. I'm a 1977 graduate of Boston's Berklee College of Music and have written a number of songs myself over the years. I was told by a 30-something singer several years back that my music sounds like it came out of the 1940s or 50s... something which I took as a compliment being that songs of those days still had interesting chord progressions, lyrics which told a story, and melodies which were truly melodious. I just want to tell you and Rachael how much I LOVE what you're doing these days. Your songs are relaxing, very interesting to listen to, and have wonderful melodies and harmonies. My only problem, Vilray, is trying to decide what it is I like the most about your music.... the wonderful mellow tone quality of your guitars (even the solid body), your fantastic whistling ability, or the totally laid-back sound you achieve when you sing. All of the aforementioned are great, so there's really no need for me to select just one favorite. Please continue to provide your unique sound to the music world. It's nice to see that there are still some musicians left who fight the recent trend to perform songs which contain few chords, have boring or nearly non-existent melodies, and lyrics which are far from creative in the stories they supposedly tell. I'm only sorry that it's taken me so long to find you and discover all the good things your music has to offer. Best wishes for future success... you deserve it!
