Hello. I ve got new songs and you are really welcome to listen to them and maybe leave me a comment if you like it or not. It would be nice for me to know your opinion. see you later Greetings Lydia marlene : )
Why thank you, Renzo! The only messages I usually get here are from men and club promoters whom I have never met (nor wish to), so hearing from you via myspace is a welcome novelty. Miss you, and hope your show this Halloween is a huge funkalicious success.
