I asked Billy if he knew you because I told him you do one of my favorite Blues shows that I tune to weekly and he said that he did know you very well. Billy also had nothing but kind words to say about you and your wife and that you&#8217;re good people. It&#8217;s amazing how we are all connected through the music we love and continue to enjoy and that we try our best to share with the masses! Last night Friday (Feb 3rd ) Billy Branch &amp; The S.O.B.s did a fantastic performance at our college auditorium, it was a great show! He was in town all week doing his Blues in the Schools at our high school, the kids had so much fun during class and on stage. Billy also wants you to keep playing the harp and blow that horn brother. Keep up the great work in keeping the Blues alive in beautiful Barcelona an all of Spain.

As it is new for us to be working with a European record company, they decided it would be prudent to do a re-release of our previous indie cd, with four songs added to establish some momentum for what is to most Europeans a new release and act. We are working very hard at the moment on the second cd and hope to have it completed in timely fasion for a second release of completely new material. Again, thanks for you consideration with our work. We are talking at the moment with a promotion \/ management company out of Nashville, Tennessee that plan to set up tours for us including Europe.

Vicente rates CD releases as Very Good, Good, Bad, and Uninteresting. I\u2019ve been receiving his reviews for several years now and always look forward to each new publication. I started early on, purchasing any releases that Vicente recommended as either GREAT or ESSENTIAL and have found our tastes to be remarkably similar and I\u2019ve achieved a valuable library of extraordinary releases that I would have otherwise might have missed. His releases are in both Spanish and English when I receive them. With Vicente&#8217;s permission, I decided to reformat the reviews for the English reader and will post those releases that are deemed ESSENTAL or GREAT, plus any curious reviews for your browsing pleasure.I almost always purchase these and am interested in any comments you might have regarding these reviews.

I want to take this opportunity to pass on my heartfelt personal thanks to you for your support of my music throughout the year. It has been a great year and I could not have dreamed the places that my simple little record &#8216;Pure Motive&#8217; would reach to. The interest from New and Old fans, Radio, Press and industry people across the world has been humbling as I know how many albums pass through the hands of anyone in the music business these days, from much bigger fish than me.<br \/>\nNot only did so many people like you take the time to listen, but you also took the time to do something about helping my music reach a wider audience. I received some beautiful notes and emails telling me how people enjoyed the record, and that it reached them in some way. I cannot tell you how much those words and actions of encouragement, that have been backed up with so much real support have meant to me. Thankyou!<br \/>\nIn 2007 I plan to deliver another album &#8230;.tour more, have fun and continue to do what I love, play and write songs&#8230; Have a safe and Happy Christmas and New Year.
