Hi there Derek,
As you can see, I am in Boston, MA, originally from NYC. Am I a country music fanatic? Absolutely not. But do I know good music when I hear it? Yes. You bring a kind of soul and passion into your music that makes it contagious; I can't stop watching your youtube video of best friend with your little nephews and niece.
I've been a musician and songwriter since I was 13, 8 years ago. You've been an inspiration to me with a couple of my own original songs and I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you love to do. Don't you listen to anybody out there who are telling you to do this or do that, or wear this or wear that. Keep being the cute little thing you are and keep the fire, joy, pain in your music--I love it.
All my love and luck your way,
Jess
