Doug, thanks for the nice reply -- Right On!
I'll be happy to send some samples, in fact I'm working (slowly) on getting enough stuff together for a CD. The problem is one of time. We have had the kitchen torn up with major remodeling since January and have been trying to work in between all the junk stacked on card tables, etc., that used to be in the kitchen cabinets. We have managed to eat, however, in spite of not ever being able to find what we are looking for at the time. It's almost finished, only have the floor and the wall tile to do. Then right behind it is some wiring in a room that we are having added to the house.
In between I'm active in Habitat for Humanity, the dinner theater, and a few gigs now and then.
The point being that the music recording business just seems to have to take a back seat right now. So --- be patient, and like the song goes, "BE HAAPPY" , I guess all will come in due time.
Regards to Ruthie (and you too) and everyone else,
Walt
