Since the email between me and the Harm's Way people I am collaborating with has become so unreliable, I am putting up any emails I receive here along with my comments and links to mp3s I have put up, etc. The updates will be in reverse order, starting with the most recent at the top.
11.02.07
I don't know what's going on with the email trouble. Below is what I
sent several times via several accounts on two separate computers, and
apparently no one has gotten anything. The note has the direct URLs to
the mp3s I put up, and following the note, I put up the code for
playing them from this site.
I did get a note from Mac tonight, asking for a phone number. Here it
is: 507.625.1620. If I'm not there, I will return calls, so please
leave a message.
