Hello Jeff

Amazing job you
have done with your website on Angel fire, i enjoy to read and learn more about
these Players and the reason behind the music and instruments.

but i really enjoy
to read, it but i also have a reason to read it, he he yep a school project. i
can see there's a lot who have turned to you for help, and it's maybe a little annoying,
hehe but as said, it's a good job you have done there.

my problem with
the exam school project is that i shall could argue for the truth behind my
sources, that will that sites as yours. so if you have a list or, some kind
links or book titles i can refer to in my project, or maybe just the knowlegde about you as a source i can trust, maybe it's your experience and not something you have read. nor the less i would be most most gladly, truly i would.

so if you can help
me, i would be your biggest fan so far.

Regards Anthon Holm, Denmark
