[musictlk] My new album is now available!

Tue Mar 1 06:14:32 UTC 2011

Hi. Do you manage that 16-track stand alone machine on your own, or 
does that take sight?   I think all of us musicians, no matter what 
we do or play, have a little desire to do the stevie wonder thing and 
sing the entire choir with the instruments all our own.
I know I do.
