  1. Hi Jim,
    Just wondered if by some wild chance you might take a listen to some songs I came up with and you could tell me what you think. They were heard by the Merlefest folks buts of course, you don’t get any feedback- which I understand but its still a bummer. My songs are just voice which I imagine to most musicians is a bit strange.

    Thanks in advance

    T.L.
