Maybe if the station does not pitch for music, maybe the station does not need money from music listeners.

Whaadya think?

Is there any relation/overlap/cross-fertilization with Les Miserables Brass Band, also from the Boston area?

That's the upbeat music played by the procession on the way back from the funeral (New Orleans style).

Thanks, great interview.

This new project will not be on mp3 at Amazon., the producers tell me. It will be at iTunes, but lots of us do not like iTunes.

You know, anything good will get to the internet and be acquired via BitTorent if it is not otherwise available.

I would love to see this on Amazon so that I could buy it right now.

Erica-

Thanks. I hope you see my reply, if we had a real forum, or at least check boxes to advise of new comments, you'd know I was here; but, oh well, maybe some day...

>>RSM
