I was just listening to "Is There Love..." and was thinking back to when I first started listenting to your music and, given the holiday spirit and all, wanted to say thanks for all the years (going on 20 now) of sincere pleasure that your art has brought to my life. I first started listening in 1987 to "Surfing..." on a suggestion from a friend, and it literally changed my life...My friend and I were listening to it on the way home from a movie and literally had to stop, pull over, and listen because it was unlike anything we had ever heard and were enraptured by your music...It made me learn guitar, which lead to joining a band, which lead to getting a minor record deal, etc...I often wonder how my life would be different had I not made that purchase....Maybe way different, maybe not, but definitely lesser for not having heard your music and craft...Merry X-Mas and thank you more than words can express for what you have brought to me through your music...

"Andalusia" is one of the greatest songs you've ever recorded, in my opinion. All the musicians are incredible!!! Matt is amazing. Joe, your solos are inspired in this one. It brought me to tears, somthing that hasn't happend since "Crystal Planet"...This is one of the best songs you've ever done. THANK YOU!!!

isn't real is it? Joe would've been 17 and, really, that outfit? I'm not buying it...
