You'll probably never get this letter
Michael, I wrote you a hundred times before
Knowing how I feel
I'll write a hundred more"
"Dear Michael, every time your record's on
(Michael Michael)
Dreaming you're singing to me."
And then she wrote,
"Michael, I love you
I held the tears back long as I can
I'm sealing my feelings in this envelope
'Cause I want to be more than just your number one fan"
I'm gonna answer your letter
(Michael Michael)
I'll start beginning with the ABC's of loving you
(I love ya)

I heard this for the first time 16 years ago when I was in the sixth grade. This song was one of my very first influences and part of the reason I play the style of guitar that I do to this day. Grateful for the art this man has shared with us all..
@smithwick1710
almost 10yrs passed since i first heard this song, still the grooviest motherfucker around
@Skrzy33
It's been 13 years since I first heard Passion Session. He turned me onto Micheal, and I still like Don the most. I said it!
@yehnaaah3537

So True, this never get's old, every listen has the same effect, pure brilliance!
@Big_Daddy_CorkUSMC
It is the definition of groove!!!
@themusic6808
I can vividly remember about 12 years ago maybe when I started playing guitar my dad found out Don Ross was playing at our local theatre (small town seats maybe 200). We had never heard of him so we went and holy shit I was blown away. Not only is the guys playing truly one of a kind but as I remember he’s fucking hilarious. He was telling stories in between songs (because he tunes differently for every one) and the entire audience was in tears.
@amritzelnick
Don, your sense of timing and groove is a gift to humanity. Keep uploading, you're making the world a more rhythmic place!
@djnotsoever5462
I absolutely agree! It’s Ross’ sense of rhythm that really caught my ear at a time when there were so many guitarists emerging with intricate solo pieces. I forgot about this recording for so long so it is great to come back and enjoy the groove again!
@jeffstanton5526
AMEN. ;)
