    Osiyo/Hello Tivoli,

    Good to hear you are doing OK.

    Thank you very very much for mentioning the award. At times it still is hard to believe. I would be glad to send you one of the CD's with the winning song on it if I had your Snail Mail address, the Pnaci CD.

    You are also a winner for 2013, So congratulations to you also. I need to get one of your albums with the winner on it for sure.

    Before I forget it. I have a question......Can I use your words on the Beautiful Ethereal Artist....?

    Now, I hope the new Manager works out real well for you. I am sure you are up on all the Video stuff and I know your manager will help you out. My manager has sort of gone there has not been any work done. His wife had their baby boy and he has been doing his money making jobs so has done   I know about getting new music out and I also need to find a way for some videos to get done. Have you been writing some new songs?

    I released my 19th CD with a brother here in KC,MO. earlier this year and working on the 20th one by myself with hopes to have it done by end of Jan.2014. I had my 4th back operation done about 3 months ago. They put to electric wires up my spinal column which tricks my brain to not feel any pain in the lower back. It works but will take the rest of my life to pay it off. O-well it is only money right, lol.

    Anyway I am so honored you wrote me and it is so nice to talk with you. I do wish you all the best in the world for your personal life as well as your music life.

    I would also be so honored to put your guitar and my flute together in a song or two.

    Many blessings and wishing you and your mom a safe and Happy Holidays into the 2014 year.

    Wa-do'/thank you, OstA Nuwati, TerryLee
