Ok so I've been in the States way too long but not to worry, like Hopkins and Tom Jones I still haven't lost my accent!

Anyway, this is a super quick one to say hi and send you all lots of good wishes :)

Thanks for all your messages, especially all you guys in Mexico, I hope you have been able to find the cd by now! I'll write again soon to be more specific about everything that's going on, my plate is very full I must say, and all is superduper!

One of the most exciting things is being back in the studio again. I've decided to record a 'piano' album kind of side project that will be out later this year, doing quite a few covers, can't wait to share it with you all :)

I'm also thinking about possibly starting twitter, to send nice messages and sentiments that come my way or out of my mind, to anyone who might be in need of a positive arrow into their world from time to time. I'm so not one to want to spend much time near technological equipment though, unless it makes music ;) That said, I have a feeling it could be a good thing so we'll see, I'll keep you posted.

Other than that I'll leave you with a quote I read today in a box a friend gave me with soap in it, you might have heard it before :

"The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer someone else up"     

Mark Twain

I just looked this up online to check I had it right because I can't be arsed to walk next door (lazy!), and I saw this one too :

"Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry"

Mark Twain

Awesome. 

Enjoy the days guys,

P.S. Is it me or has Eva Cassidy got the best voice in the Universe?

P.P.S. Because people keep telling me my wikipedia it's incorrect, I suppose there's no time like the present... it is indeed my birthday this month, next week actually, could I really be anything other than a stubborn Taurean bull to get this far ;)
