Well, you’ve surely made Daniel very happy with this post Paul!! When you started this week of love, Daniel mentioned this single, which got me quite curious. I LOVE when you make your fans happy Paul. You’ve done so much over the years to getting our favorites posted and here’s another to add to the list.

Jeff, thank you for your kind words towards me. I think you’re going to love it too. Paul acts like an angel, he makes our dreams coming true and fills our hearts with so much joy. The best thing in life is music. Like John Miles’ song “Music was my first love and it will be my last”.

Wow Paul!!! You make me so happy with this wonderful post. It´s another dream coming true. I´ve been waiting for it for such a long time. I write these lines while I´m still in the office. I must hurry up and drive back home. Can´t wait to listen to it. I can never thank you enough. The single wasn´t successful but it got some airplay on german radio stations. The remix by John Potoker just blows me away. Right now I feel so good. Paul you are my hero.
