"I'm so glad you're in making a record -- and with good people. Hunch: It's gonna be great.
And that sure is a handsome bicycle. In return I send you a pic of one of my dearest." [pic above]

"Been a fan and (on your mailing list) since Carnival Love.
From the Philadelphia area and always try to catch your performances.
I'm not in the music business but it seems to me that the complexion of it is changing dramatically and (in order to grow) you have to change with the landscape, I'm glad to see you're tending to your garden of fate. Your talent is too relevant to be overlooked and you will have your day in the sun Amy. There is an Erin McKeown song from her Distillation album called 'Fast as I can', I often think of my favorite singer/ songwriters when I hear it because (to me) you're making the music that matters...and success is very subjective. Your songs tell a story and take my mind on a journey and I can't thank you enough for that. I will tell as many people as I can about your efforts here. I am sincerely looking forward to hearing the final result and seeing you tour in the future."
