Thanks Bob. It was a nice surprise to see the thread, when I came in just now from clebrating New Year's Eve.
It is Markus who does most of the real work on my albums, so I'll be showing him your kind remarks. I was very, very lucky to have four kind hearted and talented friends to make the album. Had I gone to record companies, I would have spent a decade on my knees and the record would never have been made.
Happy New Year mate. Hope you are having fun up there in the mountains!
