Thanks! It's been a fun project. We made the front page today, and all the radio stations up here are going to be playing it! Good question, Danny, what's next on the bucket list.

Absolutely! I have 300 free copies, so if anyone wants one, let me know, you'll want the collectors item before they go to iTunes and sell millions!

Look out JLo, here comes JHo. Hmm, might need to work on that one...

Rob, boy you are right about finnishing. My daughter arranged and co-produced a couple of CDs for her high school a capella group. Seemed easy at the time, but she had a deadline and other people depending on her. Now on her own, she's been writing, recording, re-writing, re-writing, re-writing... and it gets expensive even if you are paying "friends and family" rate for studio time.

Yep.
You got to be prepared going into a project.
I have a high school bud who owns a studio in Nashville. A bare minimum of 35/hr.

Thank you!
It's been a crazy day, we were on the front page of the newspaper today and got a huge response up here in Maine.
Ian, the music is varied but this album is produced exclusively with acoustic guitars, influenced by Paul Simon, Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, Norah Jones, Elton John, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, James Taylor , Steely Dan, 70s vinyl rockers, '70s disco, and a million other musicians from all continents, someone even compared us to Hot Tuna and Miley Cyrus. Our next album will be adding electric guitar, percussion, piano, cello, and violin, among other instruments.
I'll send copies to all BWEers for free, even abroad, I appreciate anyone who is interested in the music, we are very proud of our product, it has been a very long and agonizing process!

I definitely heard the influences.
I'll take a signed copy also.
I'll hit you back when The Instigators finish our CD.
You can even come to the Grammy party.
HAHAHAHA
