Hi both of you!
How nice to find you here on myspace!
Hope to see you both again. Maybe next time when I'm in New York?
A varem grus,
Lucette fun Holand
I love the gypsy-style string melodies - and, together with the vocals, you both have a wonderful sound! being that i'm half Romanian i could definately relate! thanks for the add :} ...francescA*
Although we have Hungarian lyrics except one track called Hello.Tourist! we hope the music and the feeling are still enjoyable separately as well.
Greetings from Budapest! :)
Love the music guys, in all the various assemblages. It would be great if you did make it to Mississippi some day. Otherwise, perhaps I'll catch you in NYC; I'm hoping to be there in the relatively near future. Again, the music brings me great joy. Cheers.
