Hey Cous... I dig your songs (though I've heard them before at Mike Oullette's). I really like your homesick blues vid as well... I hope you are well. Check out my page for a cute vid of my kid, Ana, playing the harmonica.
Thanks for finding me here in MySpace-land and for sharing your music with me! Great voice! Keep writin' and playin' and remember that Life Without Music Would Be A Mistake! :-)
