    Nice! I love Cash, big time.

    But given your username, I'd think you'd have gone for this - another great one.

    Oh my goodness, unexpected song (d'oh!) and SO made me smile.

    Thank you for that!

    ...so odd yet warm and gorgeous how these random comments, energies, all else, have such reach. Guessing many here have no idea how they've played a part in my life, in my energy.

    I imagine others too.

    Pretty fucking cool.
