I downloaded your songs to my ipod and listened. Didn't you have one called "Full Moon Rising"?
I dug that one too.
I thought it was interesting listening to playing like a group of people at a campfire,
but recorded with a close-miked sound.

That would be a fun thing to actually do..
have a bunch of people around a campfire improvising and chanting, having everybody close-miked.

I must admit that I took a lot of time by scraping and tweezing it off other activities - basically, I haven't really left the house much this month. But inspiration - I did not "make" it. It was a gift that just came, welcome but unexpectedly. And from what I see here, it has visited you, too!

Hey Roy, thanks for dropping by! I've been sick as a dog and falling way behind but I see you've been very fertile this month. I'll come back and listen tonight when my ears are hopefully unclogged. Rock on!

Hey Roy... Thanks for the supportive comments! I have a couple more tunes in various stages so hopefully I'll be able to post 'em before the end. Looks like you're doing pretty good here. I'll check out your songs today!

Thanks for your sweet comments
Re "Comets" : No, I don't do this professionally (meaning I'm not paid for this), but I regularly work on films soundtracks for free-lance directors, and I've been recruited by an electro/ambient netlabel two years ago, so I feel comfortable with this kind of stuff

I'm in self-imposed posting exile until $$$ is donated to this cool facility. I know I don't have to do it, but it's just something I'm working out in my own skin. Besides, I've been listening to a lot of great tunes and...and...the jelly factory will be open for business sooner than you think.
