Hi Alan, SOOO nice to hear from you! I'm so glad that you're on myspace. I love Blue Train's music. When I do make it home eventually, I'll come and say hi to you all. I hope you are all fantastic.
A big thanks to all my friends... I just went over 10,000 listens on my player. I've added a fifth tune to my player, an arrangement of Scott Henderson's "Harpoon", the leader and guitar player of Tribal Tech.
