John, you make singing your songs so natural - there is a natural, earthy flow to what you write; yet constructed in unpredictable ways. If I feel young on a Monday, tired on a Tuesday or in love on a Friday night.. you have written a song to encourage that emotion. Nothing more to say than "WELL DESERVED" and "I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!" - Love you Mr. JM Congratulations.
