Thanks for the reply Misa!
I actually know the Novi Folk Singers, a friend of mine's got most of
their stuff, i believe. Really good. A recommendation for all you jazzy
listers!
I guess i forgot to tell you, i'm half polish, and know all about it,
but i haven't been there in these last years, (not since i fooled around
with skateboards actually... ) And all i've ever seen was large oi-skins
wanting to push me around. Just thought there might be some cool people
there now to meet.
Well, Misa, thank you very much for at least trying. And i guess my mom
was pretty artistic...
