Aw...

This morning I awoke to the following email. How lovely!

've been wanting to tell you guys this for a long time.
Your self-titled album “Moke” is a masterpiece, one of my favorite albums. 
It starts with great songs and impresses in that the songs are all so different lyrically and musically and yet the album as a whole seems (in my opinion) to be loosely thematic. The rhythms at times are beautifully unpredictable and each of your performances (which I've enjoyed studying) show profound maturity as musicians. 
Each song not just one song, but several. Nice!
The engineering and mixing are dead on. I can only imagine the degree to which you guys labored to make this perfect. I hope that it still makes you happy after all these years.
Hearing you guys were playing together again made me smile even though I couldn't be there.
Wish I was still hanging out with you all in the back room at the Saint in Asbury Park even though the place is a hole. Good times.
Just want you to know that there's a guy in New Jersey who has “Moke” in slot #1 of the CD player and blasts it a few nights a week until his ears bleed.
Cheers!
