Had a quick listen around your instrumentals Dave, they are so authentic sounding. Very high quality musicianship in everything I listened to and, because I write Celtic music, I particularly enjoyed Morning Walk. Great stuff.

Hi Dave,

Many thanks for the stars for Back To A Younger Me, much appreciated. You seem to have tipped some balance at Bjam as it is now #1 in the Country Americana chart and has entered the main Country charts!!
Being from California, the Big Sur possibly means more to you than it would to some people? I had wonderful time in the Monterey area back in the 70s, back as a younger me!
Thanks again, will have a listen to your music as soon as I can.

Bob
