MVH,

Good stuff bro! "Vanity" had a bit of a "KING's X" feel. "Nothing Better" is cool too. You have a very good voice. Why is the Mp3 only 65kbps? It probably would have sounded a lot better at 128.

Nice tunes though, I enjoyed the listen,

Thanks.

cool.


later.

It's a wma rather than mp3, in order for faster download and to get through the firewalls that some of our companies put up.

I happen to be a Houstonian and am on the fringes of the King's X/Galactic Cowboys/Atomic Opera circle of musicians. You correctly catch the Houston vibe.

Killer tunes dude!The vocals remind me of some of the really old Kansas tunes.Good stuff!

Y'all got your ears open today. Steve Walsh is my favorite vocalist, and I used to holler to a lot of Kansas cassettes in my car. That's pretty good, nailing the KX and Kansas influences.
