[musictlk] Hello list

Hi, Joshua,
I confess that the Louis braille tribute was my own.  That's me on 
guitar and Perkins Percussion, too.  Smile.  I'm glad you liked our 
mix... we do a little flat out rock and roll sometimes and our regge 
mixes aren't too too shabby.  We've been working hard on some 
Latin-inspired rhythms for our bilingual stuff although the 2 against 
3 rhythms are giving us some stress! Smile.

It's all doable. Peace church has maybe 75 people in attendance some 
sundays but we've found an amazing wealth of musicians who can 
seriously play.  Seek and ye shall find and all that!

sheri,

Sheri W-J
