I can't believe how many of you have already downloaded the cleaned files from the exchange! It is such a cool feeling to know that I have real fans who value my work.

It's knowing that at any given moment someone could be "walking" in one of my parks, "drinking" in one of my bars, or sleeping in the house I grew up in that makes me feel appreciated as an artist and creator.
