Hi, Djim and Sherry:

Thanks for the kind words. Djim, I wish that my music could make me more calm when filling out my tax forms, but I don't make near enough from it for that.

Sherry, actually, no, this is not for a show. My original idea for this stuff was for my son's band to perform this summer (yes, they're that good, technically), but the lads have since started writing their own music and are pretty much consumed with that.

Right now, I don't really have a place for this. I need a male and female vocalist to do the final recordings for this, as my voice is a "theatre" baritone, not a rock tenor. When I've done that, maybe I'll create a MySpace site for it and see if anyone bites.

No midi guitar, I'm afraid, although I do play some guitar. A combination of programming and live keyboard playing for the guitar parts.

The entire collection is not so "down" as this one, although these days it's hard to look hard into the future without a considerable degree of pessimism.
