I nearly got all the songs for our second lefty passplayer project. Some tracks just on the way, but I think they will arrive this days. If you like to take part on this CD, I only can accept mp3 files they are comming in next days. I´m very curious to get the cover design of the cd, which is made by Jack Frish, NYC. As soon as Jack has sent me this cover (and his track for the CD), I will feature it on my website. I´m proud to get such a great feedback for is cd project and I like to thank all the participants for their support. In contrast of my first CD, the second one will be a double-CD. But this is the reason to make a lot of organisation and work. But I like to do this work for you. |
