Hi Jayne, Once I saw my friend Prue MacSween was one of your partners, I knew I had to register. I’m a bit busy at the moment, but will register later today. Thanks for the invite. Please send my best wishes to Prue. Cheers, Tom
G’Day Tom,
My hard drive blew up and I lost your e-mail address. I’ve had several positive comments from people who have read the piece you wrote about me on your blog. Any chance dropping me a line so I can fill you in on the latest? Briefly, I’ve moved to Mittagong, still teaching music, but I am working on a large landscape painting commission. Do you want to catch up for a lunch?
I hope this finds you and finds you well.
regards,
Ulf Kaiser
Hi Ulf, Good talking to you today and please stay in touch. I definitely want to see your painting when it’s finished. And for anyone reading this who wants to read the post I wrote about you last year (May 1, 2014), Portrait of the Artist as a middle-aged muso, here’s a link: http://wp.me/p1Ytmx-gH Good luck, Tom.
