A Review:
“Thank you so very much for the "Tune Collector" sampler CD you sent me. I've got it on right now and it is really good. I really like the diverse mixture of tunes you got on there. I'm a "tune collector" myself, but I have no musical talent. Instead, I own 3000+ CDs and DJ on college radio. By the way, I'll be featuring your CD in its entirety on my May 4 program. Once again, thanks for the CD and for keeping the music alive….”
