    Likewise. I just have two questions - when works for you to record us, and does your studio have a piano and/or drum set?

    Martin,

    You really have a knack as a songwriter, arranger and player.  Very original and tasty.  Your lyrics convey wonderl images and stories.  I plan to include your Pittsburgh song on the main network player as soon as I revise it.
