Hi, friend,

Thanks for the letter. It's so cool that you can play the guitar! If I could do that, I would play all of my favourite songs! I enjoy listening to all kinds of music: from Lana Del Rey to Metallica. My all-time favourite artist is Pink Floyd, an English rock band. They were one of the first British groups to experiment with psychodelic genre. I like them because of the deep meanings of their song lyrics. My favourite album of theirs is The Dark Side of The Moon. The album has such smooth transitions between the songs and such relatable lyrics that it’s no surprise that it is the best-selling album in the whole world. You should really check it out!

Write me more,

John
