"you made me famous for 15 minutes, Liberty Blake". A big thank you! Gary and James of The Keeps are far too modest - without them the 'Liberty Blake' recording would never have been made. It was recorded at James's studio and he engineered the session, as well as playing electric guitar throughout. Gary sang fabulously as part of the three-part harmony section. Bass and the other BVs are by my brother Si.
ok wedding is sept 14th monday and party the following saturday. if you come to only 1 thing, party in tor leisure. rachel and jack and jasmine and rest are invited too as is the bro (he may read this himself)
Cpt Jon, i knew our time lines would cross if i hung around in the Wessex dimension long enough. As you can see from my profile picture, i am still regenerating from the last push through the time portal....awaiting you next transmission......
Hi Jon By all means, it would be great to see Speak on the Web. Check how to add vids, though. It might be better to upload to youtube and then insert into your myspace home page, as I added a video to the video section on my myspace page but you can't see it's there from my home page. Just a thought - Speak soon.. Shaun
