Hey man, I appreciate you taking the time to listen, and value your input. I am releasing an album shortly, and this is the opening track, it will be on iTunes in the next few weeks, So this is why i thought i’d throw something out there, and get some thoughts before finalising. Thanks again Slau Steve
