"The View - Foreward"

Dear David,

Just been listening to the tracks from the forthcoming debut waxing. I must say that I think the tracks are superb, I particularly like Brisa Flamenca with it's many faceted flamenco moods, and the female vocal is a joy. All the pieces are superbly recorded and played, and it's good to hear so much Englishness coming through those Spanish influenced pieces.

I defy anyone to better the virtuosity displayed in these pieces. This is going to be one hell of a debut album, and I wish you all the success it and you deserve. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your musical history.

Sincere and Warm Regards from a fellow six string traveller.
