Hi Marc. Listening to your page today and enjoying it very much. With one more song to go, looks like a toss up twixt Angel... and Wonderful Woman as the favorites. On the uptempo songs, your voice reminds me of a Christian music artist, Wayne Watson, whose been around for awhile. Thats a good thing, in case you're wondering:) Anyway, stop by for a listen if you care to. I think I'm gonna put "Angel..." on my station, A VARIETY OF MUSIC, maybe that'll get you some more exposure here.
Good stuff though, all the way round.
