Alice,

Your rendition was all so mesmerizing, sensual, yet classic in a very clear and meaningful way. The piano intro followed by the trumpet closeout, just added to the pleasure and the clarity of the song's tone and message. I just finished a break-up to very special lady, who did not want a long distance relationship.

Blessings and much luv,

Steve
