      Ian-I was lucky enough to see a show of yours like two years ago in Virgina. It was fantastic and I enjoyed talking with you before the show. Thank you for sharing your music with us and like many of us, I wish I had more money to share with you. Keep capturing your dreams and showing others it can be done.
