thank you Erik

Hi Erik a big thanks for your music and inspiration - i had some opportunity to tour around the world with my fingerstyle songs but nothing so beautiful if compared to your songs and feeling- in the end now even if I don t play so much anymore, starting to get older? )) I hope one day to emulate one of your great song. ciao Paolo
