	Kevin said: About time and congratulations. I've been listening to your songs and music since 1987, your first album. I've had vinyl, cassette, c.d. and digital formats of all of your releases. I've grown older with you and though you do not know me and have never met me you all have been a friend of mine for twenty odd years and some of the best and worst times in my life have a song or two of yours attached to their memory.when I learned to play the guitar I learned almost every song on Five Days In July. Thank you all very much for creating and sharing such great songs. I always look forward to what's coming next. Windsor misses you. Come back soon. Kevin December 14, 2011 5:40 PM
