Re: Music Personal to You

Thank you Sean! I want you and everyone else to know that I did not stop writing here because of any of you but because of my lack of interest in classical music over the many last few months. I often have thoughts about my friends from across the pond.

Matt.

It is particularly wonderful, I think, that you will be closer to your dad and will have more free time. You are a great inspiration for me when it comes to Classical Music...
