Sounds LikeWell, trying not to sound too arrogant here is quite difficult isn't it? I am aiming for a keyboard sound which is modern with not too many notes, kind of angular at times, voice expressive but matter-of-fact, listen to my tunes and make up your own mind!
Record LabelSoon I hope, that's the idea!

Howdy Wendy,
Long time! Saw your new default photo & had to stop by, :o) Very cute! I guess you just put "I Fall in Love Too Easily" up, I couldn't get it to play all the way through, but, so far, so good. I'll try it again in a coupla days. So, how is the non-smoking hellhole goin'? They are doing it to Tennessee October 1, grrrr. But, at least private clubs & places with three employees or less are exempt, such caring nannies we have.

XOX,
Marlon

Wendy - thank you so much for the kind words. Can you believe that I found a tune Andy Cholerton didn't know? Not that you'd know that from listening to it of course ;-)

Hi Wendy Kirkland!

Just thought I'd drop by and let you know about my free performance at the National Theatre on Wednesday 18th April!

If you're in London, come along to have a drink, listen to my music and make sure you say hi! If you're not in London, watch out for pics on myspace at the end of next week.

Enjoy the weekend. Lots of Love,
