Your songs are so well written and composed and beautifully performed! I particularly like "If I Were You" and I listen to it a lot. When you hit the chorus I get that little tingle up my spine, you know the one you get when a certain song reaches the point that really does it for you? You know the one that makes you hate the songwriter, cause you wish you'd have written it, LOL? Anyway, thanks again, Fran, for sharing your wonderful music." ----------------------------------------------------------------

We were quite late finding out that we
had a song nominated for Record of the Year in Glasgow at Radiosix. While
promotions had been going on for the other couple of hundred bands since
June of 2006, we had exactly two weeks in December. But you all pulled
together for us and voted us all the way up to number 5 on the Record of
the Year Final chart for the internationally acclaimed Radiosix with the
BBC's Tony Currie.
Thank you very much for helping us out
like that!
We love you.
