Thanks....for some healthy, powerful tracks. We need to have a copy for airplay in the library which I would cross reference to Folk/world (global)/women's programs.
There are a number of shows here in Portland on WMPG that would love these tracks
I'll have to send folks to the myspace page since there is a wealth of videos as well as the my space music tracks.
