So this isn't particularly "news at 10" stuff, but it's been really nice to find some geniuniely nice people hanging out on myspace, partcularly amongst the other musicians there. So there's the odd tosser in the Acoustic forums trying to tell us that we're all sh1t and wasting our time, but when people bother to say stuff like the message below, it all kinda makes it worthwhile.

As other people have mentioned, it's also what makes this place kinda fun to lurk around - there's next to zero random pointless bitchiness kicking around, really very refreshing compared to the Internet at large.

"Wow!

Goosebumps down my neck met the ones up my back and I was neither man nor ghost for a minute stretched into an hour maybe longer.

This is beautiful music.
Not the kind of beauty you find in magazines, but the kind you find in eyes and touches.

Truly amazing.
Thank you for finding me.
And thank you for showing me the right direction again."

I know there's very little point to this post, but I'm in California at the moment, feeling a bit random and jetlagged.

PS. BA Economy class sucks when you're 6'4"!
