On the day before your birthday, RAMI LAMA LOVE, someone I dearly musically loved left this earth. That night in 1988 I went out with a group of young musicians in NYC. As the sun came up on the new day they all began the most beautiful impromptu performance of an Irish ballad with FLOWERS OF THE FOREST in the chorus... "It feels like we're celebrating something" one of them softly exclaimed as they finished the song. I felt that, too, and my heart and soul was then sooo softly comforted and strongly grounded... Your birth day and your magic keys have come to me, RAMI, as a most beautiful GIFT of LOVE... Celebrating this day, MARCH 11, I am sooo touched as I say happy HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you and Pete Droge 2 !! In that yellow box with sticker STARS in the picture of us below, remember RAMI there is LOVE... creative LOVE... It moves through all things with its own unique grace connecting every one of us through all time and space... !! Sending {{ HUGZ }} and sooo much LOVE... today and ALWAYS... Sincerely, sinceresilly Karyn Lynn <3

In honor of the anniversary of the day that TRL came into being, I will drink sake, eat sushi, smoke a cigarette and play some killer licks on a Hammond B3 through a Leslie... Okay, in the interest of honesty, I won't actually do any of those things. I'm not a sake drinker, I don't eat fish or seafood (hence no sushi), I don't smoke and I don't have a Hammond. However, I truly hope that you have a great birthday and that the coming years bring you much joy and music (which for many of us are the same thing).
