I did receive your CD yesterday, and had the time to listen to most of it today. I particularly enjoy the Schubert, and you have inspired me to get the music for that Impromptu and give it a try myself.

My compliments to Fast Traxx for a very nice recording. Your CD is in our library now, and we will give it some air play from time to time.

Best Regards,

Jim

Damn Fine Catchy Bouncy Party Song
The guitars really say something. It's awesome.
The organ padding is perfect, and not at all overwhelming.
Solid drums, nice fills.
GREAT production. Really yummy.
Great party song, without sounding crass. Friggin' great.
Do I know the chick your singing about? Damn, wasn't she my last girlfriend?

Dig It!!

I reminded of both Dire Straits and Arc Angels with this song. Vocals sound like Dire Straits and the song is more reminiscent of the Arc Angels. I love the fact that there's a B3 solo in this tune!! Production sounds great as well. Drum sounds are good. Guitars sound great, could use a little delay - just a hair - to thicken them up. Musicianship is great on this one!
