I like musical instruments and those who play them, especially the guitar. If YOU like guitars, you may want to take a few listens, cuz there is a LOT of guitar in these songs. Thanks to those that have explored some of these tunes, and thanks for giving me some real music to listen to also....I truly appreciate it.

hi robert!! new song summer breeze. moved to electronic again!!Mark Alan Dooley says
that was broke link this works i hopehttp://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?A_PROD_NO=D1600

Looks like its possible to move wav files in and out of your machinehttp://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?A_PROD_NO=D1600
this means you can keep the work in the dig domain and make a quality production via the net...download wav import wav...do your thing ...export wav...upload...repeat process!
the Korg is a wonderful machine...you can do a lot...check out its ability to interface with other DAW's like Cubase and Pro Tools. The DAW's give you a vast ability to edit and master recordings as well as file and sample rate conversion to many formats...your machine is a bridge device to that as well as a great live recording tool

Hey Bobby, I’m sure once ya get to OS you won’t need me to hype ya.Yeah, MN featured me, and No Rocket Science in its newsletter; didn’t know about it until Ben, the sweetie he is, commented me here on MySpace about it: recognition is always great!
As for adding “much needed color to good ol' NY,” me thinks it’s already a got all them in the spectrum and then some:
An Ad (Underground) for a Hair Dye (Down There)
By JENNIFER 8. LEE
New York Times
July 28, 2008,
A new line of hair-dye products called Betty Beauty has generated a fair amount of attention during its two years on the market, with mentions in magazines like People, Vogue, Allure and O: The Oprah Magazine. (Vanity Fair called it a “grooming obsession.”)
But Betty Beauty is not the kind of traditional hair coloring from Clairol or L’Oréal — the type featuring models with gleaming white teeth and cascading tresses. Betty Beauty is a dye for pubic hair, and it is now being advertised on New York City subways — which are more commonly associated with ads for vocational training, cosmetic dermatology and houses of worship than with ads for intimate grooming products.
The ads make only oblique references to pubic hair: The company says it sells “color for the hair down there,” and the slogan on the ads reads: “Boldly Going Where No Color Has Gone Before.” (Below it shows boxes of the product in the five available colors: black, blond, auburn, brown and “fun,” a k a hot pink. Each box has a sketched torso with a wispy, carefully placed triangle in the relevant color.)
Many of the ads have been placed in transportation hubs like Grand Central Terminal.
