Holy wow...Jenny you are amazing. I am sad that you rarely come to Florida but I hope that maybe you will son. Great work!
With the upcoming release of the new album, might I suggest you try doing an AMA thread on Reddit. It would be pretty neat to see and it would be a great chance to introduce people to your music.
