Hi Jake, thanks for telling me about GoTime. It is pretty freaking sweet! The show last night went amazingly well. I'm pretty sure the place was pakced to capacity and we sold out of CDs and tshirts.
Hey Jake thank you for add. Your samples sound's so nice man. If you have a chance please give a listen to my first release 48 Hour Odyssey. Have a good weekend. Enrico
Why, thank you! Red has long been my signature color...in fact, I need to go shopping for a new red dress! (a girl can never have too many of those...) hope your Thanksgiving was great--Hilary
I have your new CD. I really like it! It's too soon to say which songs are my favorites; I need to listen more so they can grow on me. I hope to catch you live here soon.
Ordered your Brand Spankin' New CD from CDBaby.com as soon as I could - really enjoying it of course. I'm so spoiled with such great talent in Seattle to hear. I'll report back with favorite tracks after I've given it an appropriate amount of spins :-). Hope you have a kick @ss CD launch!
