Open letter to Bruce...

Bruce, I swear "baby baby, I'm so alone, baby baby I'm coming home"
absolutely tears me down and rocks my world. Best describes why I sent a
mp3 of the song to "Chivona" miles away from me this wet Christmas
morning. I've listened to the entire album here on Christmas Day, MY
Christmas Day spent listening alone to "Letter To You" does that tell
you something? I trashed this release upon first listen entirely but
now I humbly and sheepishly take that back. Easily the best 2020 Rock
release destined for at least single and album of the year honors
nomination at multiple awards. This masterpiece, entirely soars on the
voice and emotional depth of Bruce, the band effortlessly ties it all
together, complimenting as a whole an otherwise sorely needed booster in
my life. Thank you Bruce for of all words you used, "I'm coming home"
in both "Ghosts" & "One Minute Your Here", words that are by coincidence
at the least, are also of my catalog, "Prelude To September 11, 2001 -
Leonda (I'm Coming Home)". God only knows I'd be rather not emotionally
charged by other music, once again, on a tough holiday to face alone,
Bruce you showered me in Rock & Roll spirit, I love you man.

But not to spoil it for you, pay attention to one other newcomer with a
background that is not foreign to you, son of the late Edward Van Halen,
Wolfgang of Wolfgang WVH of whom would be totally dominant competition
in this years Grammy awards as the next king of guitar rock due to his
emotional delivery in homage of the late great Edward, "Distance" Look
for his self everything done full length release eligible for all top
honors in 2021, early 2021, January.
It may be very well worth your rock and roll soul to give this kid a
listen, I'm speaking with humble authority, he really does his dad over
the top justice with entirely a unique sound of his own, 90's rock meets
2020.

Bruce, amen to you, if you didnt fill my life with rock repeatedly since
1983 keeping me out of legal trouble when spending countless hours
imitating, singing along and eventually becoming a musician myself, no
doubt my life would have come to a dramatic abrupt ending without your
positivity. You helped me survive, I am always paying it forward.

With mutual admiration, love and respect,

William Keith Mahler
