Dear Mr. Quinn,
Thank you. A phrase that shows gratitude and appreciation towards someone. My name is Monica Ronayne and I am a student in Massachusetts, United States of America who wanted to say thank you. Ever since the first breath I took, music has been second nature to me. I adore pieces from classical music to jazz to hard rock. I adore music so much I play instruments in my free time and love to study musicians and examine their pieces. Out of the many genres and artists I have heard, you are the first one I have reached out to. I stumbled upon your piece named “Le Carrousel” and for the first time out of my 17 years of laughs and sorrows have I ever felt so touched by a work of art. The song completely captured my attention and I found myself with wet cheeks from streaming tears. Your piece is touching and beyond the definition of beautiful. Words will sadly never express how much the song means to me and as I sit here writing this letter, the song fills not only my ears but my heart as well. So as one might say when expressing gratitude and profound appreciation, thank you. I will forever find myself coming back to your music and especially getting lost in your piece of art, Le Carrousel.
