Re: 29 and Holding

Thanks very much Toney - I like it too. I'm holding off on playing it for the wife until the "big" day which is Saturday. I'm just hoping she likes it too.  smile

Jets

every woman around this world would love you for writing songs like this.

She is a beauty your wife. One half of her secret is being married to a wonderful man like you!

Both of you take a bow.

A real good feeling to this song.
