Thanks for your kind words, Gene. I heard (saw) someone mention Marillion recently, hence the inclusion of Fantastic Place. I live about 3 miles from the Birchmere and go there often...I see Kenny Edwards name on their list of shows from time to time, and keep telling myself, "next time." Marillion are playing an acoustic show there in June, and since they play so infrequently in the states, I'm very psyched about that.

I've received 4 discs so far, and the variety of music is staggering and beautiful. I've already compiled a list of at least a dozen discs to check out and have already downloaded one from iTunes. Every cent I spent and every second of effort has paid off one-hundred fold and I still have quite a few discs to go. Thank you all for participating. I'm already planning my disc for the next round, and you know it'll change completely by the time we get around to it!

Just a side note...believe it or not, the song "The Alternativa" by Waysted (group founded by Pete Way of the 70's/80's and still alive metal band UFO) is actually the singer's ode to his favorite Bullfighters.

Cheers and beers to you all!

Mike
