Hi Norman - I just had to write to tell you how much I am enjoying your music. Patriotic Song struck me as so genuine and articulate that I was quite awestruck. A truly beautiful piece. Now listening to Cape Morning, and I am curious as to why you chose the genre of New Age - Alternative vs. Neo-Classical but I am glad I have found you in any event. Your music is truly inspirational and filled with melodious hope. I will look forward to hearing much more from you.
