[Heeplist] UH São Paulo review

Wed May 28 16:41:00 EDT 2014

Claudia,

Thank you kindly for posting your concert review. Much appreciated!

You write in English very well, by the way.

I've been in the U.S. all my life, and I still can't speak or write English
properly.

I'm still learning ... *LOL!*

Take Care, *Best Of Wishes to you *... and Keep A *HEEP'n!*
