Great story. Sid’s music is great, you should check it out.

I’ve been contemplating the same idea as Sid lately. It takes so much courage to get out there that way. I’m going to try it.

I too had the good fortune of answering the door one afternoon and being enchanted by the courageous young man who answered the door. I immediately purchased the CD to ‘support the struggling artist’. I wasn’t expecting much that would appeal to me on the CD so I didn’t play it for several months. (What an old white-man snob I must be, not to even have given the CD a chance.)

I was blown away when I did play it. It (the ‘Thank You’ CD) is now a regular staple in my musical diet. I am just now listening to some of the tracks on ‘City Still Has Life’. Amazing stuff.

Thanks for your courage Sid. It has brought some joy (not to mention some humility) into my life. Good luck to you.
