The quote by Mario Villani is beautiful. It demands that I pause and reflect. A welcome silence…
Your music is unique, well-crafted and diverse. It’s refreshing to hear something independently artistic.
Thanks for dropping by and sharing.
Is this the Grahm English that sang with my band RANGEL? I’m retired now still in the music business doing a solo gig. Please write me back as soon as you can if this is the same person. Your friend Victor Rangel.
Damn it’s good to hear from you! Some of my greatest musical memories are playing with you and the band. Wow!
