I like your cover of "My Name Is Carnival" Jackson C. Frank is awesome and I'm happy to find other people who know who he is.
Plus it's a very apt song for you ;0).
Peace and Love to you,

Thanks for the request, nice version of 'Carnival', it's hard to say what my own favourite Jackson C. Frank song is, they are all so good, but I have always especially liked 'Here Come The Blues'.
