Hey everybody...I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I've been real busy puttin' this project together and I've got some great news for everyone who's been visiting my web site. What I'm trying to do is make it possible for web site visitors only to be able to buy the record in advance before any radio stations or the general public has it.
