Hey Tom, congratulations on finally reaching 40. 
From Sean of Portsmouth/Southampton (we met at the Living Room in October, I was in NYC celebrating my own 40th - you referred to Portsmouth as Annapolis without the glamour, how right you are!). 

Have a great birthday – from one who knows, being 40 is actually ok, you’ve nothing to worry about!
 Just want to say, thanks for all the music (no cheesy reference intended), your melodies and lyrics have been faithful companions to me throughout the past few years.  I still remember when I first heard ‘You Cut Her Hair’ (on January 1 2001) and the shiver that ran down my spine (cliché, I know, but true). 

Keep it up

from Sean Tyler
