I really do get a kick out of how others, are interpreting how Yusuf Islam-Cat Stevens feels....really it's quite comical. I enjoy your music Yusuf Islam and I look forward to hearing and learning more! Sincerely, a former Cat Stevens Fan turned Yusuf Islam Fan. Keep the lines of communication open, clear and strong! -Ellen
