Love it John !! I often introduce my overseas tourists to your music, and not one yet has ever said they dont like it. Some may not understand some of it, but by the time the day is through spotify music store has downloaded your music onto their phones and my commentary is more easily understood, no matter where folks are from. ha ha - What will we ever do without you mate ??
