Thanks so much for the music mix! I love it – and, we did play it at the Party.

David, I changed the links to the bands’ MySpace pages. Between MySpace’s purchase service and iTunes, you can download every track (except Cab Fare). The CD will turn up in some more places, I’ll let everyone know.

Thank you both for the kind comments! There will be some copies at Rebecca’s party tonight – printing the labels is not turning out as well as I’d hoped, but oh well.
