HESTER, Judge,
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent. I would affirm on the Opinion of Judge Reed of the court below.
Appellant’s brief to this court upon appeal states the questions involved to be:
“STATEMENTS OF QUESTIONS INVOLVES Tsicl
1. Whether the sentence imposed upon the Appellant was so manifestly excessive as to constitute too severe a punishment.
2. Was there sound and just reasons by the Court justifying the sentence of Appellant?”
*270It is doubtful that appellant’s response to the order complies in any respect with the intent of Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b), but it certainly does not, in my opinion, give the trial judge notice of the matters complained of on appeal, concisely or otherwise. Since I construe the record as a failure to comply with the direction of the trial judge, I would hold the questions raised in this appeal to be waived under the authority of Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b).
I would affirm the judgment of sentence.
