Well of course I own #4 but it's been years since I pulled it out.

Thanks Ken for the tunes.

Glad you had fun hearing them.

I certainly skimmed on #12.  I actually have the Treelines CD and enjoy it, especially the title track.  But it does take a while to develop.

Wow, some great stuff here Ken, thank you again. Of special interest to me at the moment are 1, 8, 10, and 11 (and of course 2, as mentioned in my comments). Hey, and I actually got #3 (mostly) right! Will definitely be checking out some more of these.

[Dub Modal]

Coming back around for the reveal. All songs I'm not familiar with, but enjoyed listening to. Thanks again.
