Jun 11, 2008Mr.Rickster.... You are one of my favorite people! One of the true "Real People" in this wicked world.... Have always enjoyed your music and your company! Your songs really grab my attention. "The Streets" has that cool '60's vibe.... *velvet undergound* feel going on...
And knowing the man,, that piece tells an amazing story! Who he was, and who he has become!! My hat is off to you Sir!
Peace & Love
