Not Fade Away

Rachel,
I am very proud of you and love you very much. This CD should suit you: it is somewhat "sentimental," "quiet," etc. You should check out the band Tristezza: this CD has someone from Tristezza, but I'm not sure who.
Sorry It didn't make it in time for X-mas. it seems my tradition is "late" and "never."
I wish you the best! Keep doing what you do!
Love,
--Matt
MERRY LATE X-MAS!
Hope to see you again this summer!
P.S. Thanks for the CDs.

The Ghost of Christmas Past

Mom--
I love you and wish you prosperity. I feel like such a fool not realizing how minute our time here is. I hope you recognize that you are a successful mother. Thank you for all the nice gifts.
I know you will like this CD. I listen to this sometimes when I'm stressing. Bob Dylan was very fortunate to find "The Band." Really it was a good collaboration. This CD shows both sides of that.
(((Last but not least -- I always loved how you draw a good "caricature" of yourself on the side/end of letters, so here is my effort at the end.)))
I love and miss you.
