A Few Kind Words

Over the years I've been scribbling, I've had a great many letters and e-mails
from people kind enough to let me know that they enjoy the stuff I write.

Here's what a few of you have had to say...

"I just got your CD and played it in the car on a long drive the other day.
I only have two things to say: 1. You're one sick lad - 2. I love it!"

"I played it to my husband and he agreed with 1 and 2"

Arcadia Flynn ~ Funny Poets ~ Australia

"You may wonder how a southerner came to hear your work........
I was up in Rochdale and happened to catch the Happy Daft Farm
on Radio Lancashire. Brilliantly funny. Andy Capp with eloquence!"

However, 'Brenda' is still my favourite.
