Hi Brent,

Based on your Vintage Guitar interview I bought Joe Nichol's
and Julie Robert's first efforts. I am still blown away with the
production and being a very emotional person, those recordings have really
touched my heart. I love your understated approach.

I would slso like to
comment that Nichol's "Man With A Memory" was the perfect
mastering "loudness". I could enjoy the mix and the interplay
of sounds and the incredible dynamic of Joe's voice. Otherwise I am very
frustrated with the radio and record industries drive for loudness and
think that's the invisible elephant in the living room squeezing the life
out of both of those businesses.

Your new fan and brother in
Christ,

Miller when they lived out this way 20+ years ago. Great people!)
