ding! matt van brink. lost now found, now send me $100. seriously, privileged am i to have the first listen here of the damn beaver song, hil-a-r-i-ous. yes, and sextet shines like buckets of messiaen. you the man.
VB- I like "Francine..." It's impressively tight jazz for being single-tracked. I'd be interested in hearing the rest of the String Quartet sometime as well. See you 'round the water cooler. :D
Thanks for adding me as a friend---I like your music very much! Feel free to peruse more of my music on my music site, which includes downloads and scores. Have a great day!
