    I will always be a fan of yours. I too was a singer songwriter who came out of left field (to borrow an American phrase). I began by writing music to an English Sonnet I wrote in iambic pentameter. I went over well in Chicago's coffee houses and got some airplay in Nashville and England, but I never quite found that road to fame. I'm glad you ultimately did. You are amazingly simultaneously a commercial/esoteric Success! I relish when others succeed. You did. I enjoy you, kiddo!!!

      Well you can tell by your comment there is not much chance of you ever attending the Oxford union. She is obviously a very intelligent woman, who has achieved huge success and has a lot to offer to students about to embark on their own lives and careers. Best you confine your attention to Ok and Hello magazine they are more suited to your intellectual capacity!
