    Matt,

    I have not had a chance to thank you for playing The Smiths – How soon is now for my 49th birthday. I realize that it is a mainstream tune played all day, but something about hearing that song mixed in with Dark Wave was absolutely awesome!! My Wife Erin and I are huge fans! The new Marr album (The Messenger) is great…there are a few songs that I plug Morrissey’s voice into and I go back 30 years…crazy how time flies…and how fresh Marr still sounds…so if the mood strikes, any of the new tunes would be great… Thanks Again for making my birthday… Mark
