sometimes i have the feeling that my formative years were so deeply, and unconsciously influenced by listening to Leonard's early records, that a large whack of my music owes a deep debt to that dance he did with his muse(s).... just stumbled across this older tune of mine and the above thought pretty near knocked me over

Hi Michael ~

I love your music, your words, and your voice. Speaking for that time, musician or not, anyone listening to Leonard for the first time could not help but be influenced by him. You put your influence to good use.
