It's true, I do love letters. I like writing and taking the time to send out a letter here and there. And I really appreciate the lovely emails I get from time to time from folks who love my first record "So Long". Sure it was disappointing that the record didn't get its proper promotion back in the day, but it did manage to make its way out into the world. Often the stories people share say that so and so stole my only copy and I only have it on this one hard drive, etc. These stories always show up when I need them to. I don't make music to one day play stadiums and entertain the masses, I do this first for myself and my own healing and to connect on a deeper level.
This message came in from Brooklyn yesterday and it's nice to be appreciated in a city that I love and adore. The city where my creativity was born.
Subject: So Long
Message: Hi! I don't usually write artists but this album was so important to me in high school. I let my parents give away all my CDs at some point between graduating in 2006 and now and thus this album was lost. I couldn't find it streaming anywhere and didn't own a CD player until I bought a used car last year after the birth of my son. My spouse has a collection of random old CD's and all i wanted was this album back, to share with my family on our antiquated cd player, in our shitty car. Today the first song on the album was on my spotify Release Radar playlist. I'm sitting at my desk with happy tears. This brings back so many memories. I feel like a piece of my life was put back together. I just wanted to say thank you for making music and posting this special album on Spotify. Music is so magical and this is hitting somewhere deep in my soul that I didn't know was hidden!
