Hey Graig, I would love to lay down some tracks. This could be a cool way for me to explore some new cello sounds, too. A really good time for me to record would be between Feb. 23 and March 2. Let me know... Good to her from you! ~Aaron

Still plugging away and they're loving every chapter! You ready for more? You already read what you've got? Any comments for me? Anything on your end? I could use some music to write to, if you've got it. Everything else good? Stuff in the works, you maniac?
