Dear Mihran, You don’t know me, but I listened to the song you sent Amy Reese on Friday Flash Fiction in Word Press. This song is so magnificent and hauntingly beautiful! It is one of the most moving songs I’ve ever heard. I’m an old woman (65 almost) and the artwork during the video is luscious. You are TALENT! You are an absolutely wonderful artist and musician. If it’s all right with you, I forwarded your link to several of my friends if that’s ok. Thank you so very much for your song! Nan Claire Falkner
