I'm sorry if I annoyed anyone with this post. If it were too off acid jazz
subject for the list. I mainly put it in here b/c I know a lot of your folks
make music, and since you've been so passionate about the Sept. 11th events,
I thought you might want to submit some music to this effort. The Village
Voice in New York is putting together a CD and looking for the music to
celebrate New York City. They are even paying for studio time.
I realize this is a discussion list and not a place for advertising and
chain mail. Again, sorry if this was not the appropriate place for such a
post.
