"All the Time in the World Blues" is submitted to itunes.

in North America it should be a few days or sooner.

UK is usually a bit longer I think.

Thanks again.

Ah! Finally! I see the point of the iTunes store. Don't have an iPod/mp3 player thingy but will figure out how to get your collected works, Mr Bongo sir. Is it ok with you to burn them to cd?

currently re-working "STEALTH" sounding buckets better ! I should take the currrent demo down, sucks compared to the final version.

I know my tunes are rough around the edges but I have to tell you Friends ... I am really enjoying my results.

I know where I'm at on the Totem pole of music. I've heard worse on itunes. I WILL be on the radio, I'm telling ya !

Your support has really helped.

PS. I have a tune called "The Last Tigers Eyes" to benefit WWF for Tigers, only 3000 left. I am putting on itunes in a week or so. Half the proceeds I will donate. What do you think of that idea? Gonna do it for sure.

Trying to be a real Troubador is fun, feels right.

OH n Smudge.

Nutters who buy n wanna share a CD with others Nutters is fine.

I don't want to only because it feels self-defeating, does that make sense?. Others totally can.
(I hope that doesn't make me sound like a prick.)

Nutters are special.
no worries.
Cheers.

Unfortunately "Jet Blue" did shit. Me n a few people did like though, not a total loss. (So what it's trashy? )

Haven't given up on it yet.

Thanks again.

Are you kidding, BB? I love "Jet Blue". I was earwormed in a most lovely way by the chorus all day yesterday. It even popped back in my head this morning while I was at church. (Boring sermon!) But the song took on a weird Gregorian vibe then.
I have to get my vote in again today.
Umm...the following isn't exactly ethical, and I'll edit it out if you'd like, Bongo...but, just in case anyone needed to know, Toronto postal codes all begin with M. This is followed by any number from 1-9 then any letter (in caps), then a space, a number 1-9, a letter and one more number 1-9. (eg. M4H 7V3)
In Dallas, the only game that really mattered was in the word gamelan.

"All the Time in the World Blues" is up on itunes. (in Canada at least)

it will creep its way onto many digital download sites, Napster,Amazon etc. Soon come na Man.

I really appreciate any word of mouth.

Three singles on itunes so far. I know I haven't done that "killer"tune yet but some different tunes coming. I don't think these 3 represent Twang n Dread well enough. Gonna push some Reggae stuff. I have one new one that is a full out typical Reggae song, I really like it. I am a little worried it will sound like a tune that's already been done but I love it so much I am going to do it anyway.

I have to do some video's also, seems to really help the interest. It's hard to do a vid with no production, me sittin in the studio only goes so far. Too cold here to hire bikini girls.

Thanks again.

Oops. I didn't ask the question well at all. I meant is it ok if I burn to a CD (i.e. ONE cd) so I can play stuff to fellow luddites who don't have mp3 thingies. If they like it, they will have to bloomin' well buy it and burn their own CDs (with stern warnings about copying the same). Apologies sir, I can see how that looked like 'Hey! Can I give my friends free music?'

(Edit) And PS - thank you for being so polite about it - I would have told me to go and do something unpleasant!

Hey Man I'm just happy anyone is interested.

The thought of you guys/gals listening is what it's all about.

Thanks for all the votes.

Now if I can get on the radio and get Jack White to produce a single, all will be good.

Rock n Reg.

(PS, I wonder if STEWART has listened to any ? That'd be cool. I tweeted Stings folks fer fun)

I'm speakerless at the moment, lent them to my fabulous daughter in return for her kindly fixing my poorly computer. Watching it is somehow not the same without speakers :roll:

I'll wrestle them back off of her in a day or two or maybe buy some new ones for her as a Thank You and then I can get mine back and watch AND listen.

e-mail coming shortly Bongo.
