Hi there Kris, I saw your post and just thought I'd remind you that IAM still thinking about your previous invite to perform at BEMF again. I just can't confirm or commit just yet. Sorry. I really WANT to. But, I have so many things happening to me in life just now that there is little time to even think of music. It's sad to say, but I haven't played in months. And, I only want to come and perform if I know I can aquit myself respectably. If I came right now (as "cold" as my "chops" are) I would only embarrass myself. I've had enough of situations like that . . . too many in fact. Anyway, please continue to hold a space for me 'til I can decide. tEd ® kiLLiAn "Different is not always better, but better is always different" Flux Aeterna: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playListId=6378076 http://www.pfmentum.com/flux.html http://www.CDbaby.com/cd/tedkillian http://www.guitar9.com/fluxaeterna.html http://www.garageband.com/artist/ArsOcarina http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=2845073 http://www.netmusic.com/web/album.aspx?a_id=CBNM_17314 http://www.indiejazz.com/ProductDetailsView.aspx?ProductID=193 http://www.loopers-delight.com/cgi-bin/profiles.cgi?step=view_profile&id=121197000042 Ted Killian's "Flux Aeterna" is also available at: Apple iTunes, BuyMusic, Rhapsody, MusicMatch, MusicNet, DiscLogic, Napster, AudioLunchbox, Lindows, QTRnote, Music4Cents, Etherstream, RuleRadio, EMEPE3, Sony Connect, CatchMusic, Puretracks, and Viztas.
