Later in July I had 10 songs in the top fifty at one time. Total number of music downloads between April 15 and August 25, 1999-----1374 downloads!(not including radio plays or instant plays) That's over 3 GIGABYTES of downloads, folks. Thanks to everyone who took the time to download my songs and a special thank you to those who purchased the CD!

Play it in your car as audio only AND play it on your PC in MP3 format with a clickable graphic user interface!----------------------02/16/2001 Artist Review: One-man keyboard band takes you on instrumental journeys through all things serene and bittersweet. He draws on jazz, ethnic and dance music to give an extra edge to his atmospheric synthesizer beats. ----Listen.com
