I finally posted the mp3 for “24 Turned 25” from Denison Witmer’s Philadelphia Songs. So, those of you interested in hearing something from the new album before you buy it can download the mp3 and take a listen. I also added mp3 links to a track from Unwed Sailor’s Marionette and the Music Box and The Trouble with Sweeney’s “Karen.” Be sure to take a listen. :::scott:::

This will definitely be out by year’s end if we can get the artwork complete. The band has been working hard. Also, I received Lost Joy by Camden Joy from TNI Books. It will be added to the on-line store shortly and is apparently a collection of short stories, many music related. If his Little Engines contributions have been a good sign of what is in this book, then it should make for a solid read. Under peer pressure, I gave in and pre-ordered David Eggers’ next book. It’s being sold exclusively on-line and through select independent booksellers to raise…Continue reading
