Greetings from Moscow! :) I left a comment for Fran on travisonline a couple of days ago, but then I thought that I should have written those words to the whole band.. So I just hope that Fran will say them from me to Neil, Dougie and Andy ;) And of course I'm looking forward to your new album! The song 'J. Smith' is really good :) With love, Tatiana
