You don't owe me a free anything. I just want one and as long as you're  
willing to expend the effort to get an XL to me, I'm willing to pay. Commerce! 
 Thanks for the kind offer, though.

PS,
 
Mel has his own t-shirt  out. It says, "Make it idiot-proof, and  someone 
will make a better idiot."
 
I don't think anyone could make a bigger idiot than Mel.

I still owe you a free  one...I'm just a lazy bastard.

Thanks.  Don't get  me wrong, I really like the work I post, I just haven't 
been able to sell  it. About 1% of what I sell I actually really like.

I'm  contemplating a SoundCloud Pro  account.

Thanks for listening and commenting Fritz.


I checked out your page as well. Hardly failures. Really nice,  deft 
arrangements and orchestrations. 



I'm glad to hear you endorse SoundCloud. I'm looking forward to  exploring 
it much more thoroughly. 



Rick

SoundCloud is a  wonderful forum for sure.  I like your open pastoral feel 
on  O'Carolan's Dram.

I also have a SoundCloud page.  Mostly  failures live on my page I'm afraid,

Since I've seen a few others indulge in some similar self-promotion,  I'm 
going to take this opportunity to do the same. 



I just opened a Soundcloud account under my fake band name The Ashen  
Actuaries of Asgard and have uploaded some tunes. Many of them have tron  sounds 
(which are tagged) as well as those of some other classic keys (D6  
clavinet, Fender Rhodes, Moog). 



However, in the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that my  Mk. 
VI has been out of commission for several months due to a bum pre-amp.  So 
most of what you hear is Mellotron Archive tape samples played through a  Nord 
Electro 3. Not ideal, I know, but desperate times require certain  
accommodations. Hopefully the real thing will be back in action shortly.  



If you feel like it, feel free to give a listen.
