Song for Willa Lee is deceptively cookin'.I have to stream ya. One corner turn can make the difference. We're the ones who are breathing in the space. I love it. . I hope you’ll stop by & listen well.

Hi Mark,
No I don't personally know Geoff but he is a great player.Thought I'd drop in to let you know I've posted a couple of new tunes you might care to listen too.Cheers,Paul.
Hi Mark, thank you for listening to my stuff, and for your kind words. I'm based in Copenhagen, Denmark - if you're ever in town, do let me know. Meanwhile, I do visit the states from time to time, so who knows, we might be able to hook up sometime. Cheers!
Hi Mark, just listened to your song "don't forget about me".Good stuff, love that stark sound. Keep the blues alive.
