Brian,

I've been a huge fan since first hearing "Never Gonna Come Back Down" in 2000. Movement In Still Life is still my favorite album of yours. I've been playing a lot of your music for my 16-month-old daughter lately, and I think she'll be just as big a fan as I am.

I have two questions:

I'm curious, will we ever see you do another live performance tour? I know you just recently did Electronic Opus, which was similar, if on a grander scale. I was thinking more along the lines of just you yourself performing. Perhaps new renditions of old material, or something like that.

The second is a bit more pointed: Why do you so frequently refer to yourself as a "grammy nominated" musician/composer? Your work stands on its own, without need for acknowledgement by award or critic. I've always been curious about why that grammy nomination means so much to you.

Thanks for all great music. You are one of few artists whose entire catalog I am a fan of. To quote "Running Down the Way Up," you have a Midas touch. If you ever want to chat over a cup of coffee or tea with a huge fan in Northern Virginia, hit me up!

Thanks for the reply! I'm sure you will - she seems to love music like I do. I try to expose her to as much of it as I can.

That makes sense. I can understand public/industry acknowledgement being important. As well as the managerial and press side of it.

Name the time and day and I'm there!
