RE: New Loop
Hey Chris,
Thanks for the listen.
All the songs were tracked in the studio.
Listening to some of your tracks now.
Digging it.
Actually my next CD is more in the pop rock vein.
I've been busy trying to remember how to play a kit for this, haven't done
that since I was 12.
Let me know if you decide to go the Boomerang route.
