chris, the beauty of music is an amazing thing in life as you realize how much it brings families, friends, loved ones, and lost family memebers...you made my fathers day an incredible experience of my life true...want you to realize your family has helped teach my daughter music..on that particular day was feeling down and out.am starting life over at the age of 44..well my kids live with my ex and she did the wrong thing by not having our own kids call me, so as the day proceeded, i called my own father and wished him a happy fathers day..then after that my mom called me and did the same thing and well that made me feel a little better..so i rested a little as sunday is my only day off. so after i woke up i picked up my own guitar and played a little music and looked at my guitar pic and lo and bhold there was you logo on it..naturally i thought of you band as you all have been around a while...so a cpouple hours passed and i turned on tk99, as i a very loyal fan of that staion for many years..well chris was kind of like radar and or the radio wavelenghts, that proceeded me to go to shiftys..true..was so impressed on 2 songs that you wrote.one was about your father and that moved me to tears. the other was about your wife and i was truly inspired all the way to my own very heart...thats why i shook your hand like a man..so realize this from a man who has been around the block twice now in life...dont ever think in you lifetime what your music means to me..all good..ty for the new memories chris and thats a particular day i will never ever forget ever..you truly made my whole fathers day worth while..my regards to your band and all of your family members..thatnk you martin j. downing
