Audio Love Letter is a spontaneous 7 song mini album
A stack of 7 postcards singing 'thank you' to a few random midnight inspirations...
A loose limbed, quick draw salute, to a few super inspirational folks in no particular order; 
Steve Marriott, Jeremy Brett, Van Morrison, Matt Johnson & David Bowie...
(All from Great Britain... co-incidentally? )
As an Islander, Great Britain clicked with me in a way...
Growing up a young musician in the 1970's / 80's Hawaii,
I got all my rock news from the English music rags like: the NME & the Melody Maker
I've always liked the way Great Britain has viewed and digested
what the States have beamed back over the pond.
It has been a good and healthy arm wrestling match
between the two countries over the creative ages.
 
But at it's core, Audio Love Letter,
is humbly a mini album for the simple pure fun of it...
in the spirit of the old school e.p.,
just to send some love up into it all...
like hot air into the ballon of love...
A respectful nod from across the bar with a raised glass
...Dig?!
 
Our sword is sharp and our heart is loud.
Aloha,
F.Q.O.
