All tracks are up for download. MP3.COM disappears on December 2nd. I have no idea if my tracks will be available anytime soon elsewhere.
So, I put them all up for download, go ahead, get your favorites, burn a cd, have fun.
If you would like to keep in touch with me, please email me at nmccomber@sympatico.ca
I can't thank you enough for listening close to 100 000 times. This means a lot to me.
Le 2 décembre, MP3.COM ferme définitivement.
Je vous invite donc à télécharger toutes mes chansons pendant qu'il est encore temps.
Allez-y, faites-vous un cd. Je ne sais pas quand vous pourrez les entendre à nouveau sur le net.
Si vous désirez garder contact avec moi, écrivez-moi à nmccomber@sympatico.ca
Merci de votre appui, je n'aurais jamais cru atteindre près de 100 000 écoutes.
