Bill –
Just wanted to say THANKS for another awesome year of incredible music! “Memphis” is truly one of your greatest works – every time I think you’ve hit your peak (e.g., "Spirits, Chaos, and a Troubadour Soul") you blow us away with your latest effort!
Your willingness to play “I’m Getting Closer” for the congregation at my first Mass earlier this year was so very special and moving – one of those moments in life that my family and I will always cherish! Also, I couldn’t hope for a better mentor for my son – musically and personally – you have had such a wonderful impact on him!
Don’t ever doubt that your music, your words, your spirit, are touching lives and inspiring souls! Sure, it is always great to rock-out at Frankie & Georgie’s and you & Hard Rain deliver the goods in more ways than one. . .but your gifts go far beyond an entertaining night at the local club.
In the words of Red Auerbach. . .“Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Thanks for washing away the dust from our souls, Bill. Warm wishes for a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. During this season of “gift-giving” I am most grateful for the gift of your friendship and your music!
I can’t wait for what you’ve got in store for 2012!
