from James Thomas to John

Was handed this letter at a meet and greet on my last show of the tour:

“Dear John,

My name is James Thomas. I’m 17 years old and I’m so happy that I was finally able to meet you tonight. You changed my life by inspiring me to pick up a Martin and a Strat when I saw you live for the first time in 2008. I really understand your music and connect to what you’re saying in your songs. You gave my life meaning to be honest and showed me a way to express myself and I truly thank you for that. It would be my dream to play with you one day and possibly tour with you in the future. Thank you for everything.

Sincerely,

James Thomas”
