I watched your song on the Today Show 9/8/09 and thought it was very excellant and would like to know how to purchase a copy of your new CD “#1s and then some:
Has there been a religious experience than has caused the parting of ways? IN THE SONG THAT WAS THE IMPRESSION THAT I GOT.

May God bless the paths that you travel.
