This was a group I formed with Mindy, which went on to bigger and better things once I left it, such as the album listed below. The song samples are raw, digitized directly through the headphone jack of a cheap boombox, with no further adjustments or editing. (I had planned to use Snappy to digitize the music, but my stereo doesn't have the right connections. So I used Performer 98. I tell you, if one Play product doesn't do what you need, we certainly have another that will.) The album sounds much better. I will probably make better recordings later, I just wanted to get some examples from the album up here. (I hope Mindy appreciates that I'm using up one third of my web site disk space to advertise an album I didn't even play on. I can be so generous!)

You can e-mail Mindy for copies of the album. According to Mindy's Mother, I will be playing on the next album.
