About Me

For the ongoing tale of our trials and tribulations see congressroses.blogspot.com for free demo recordings and updates.

Plus we strongly advise checking out the music of Duryea Hawkins over at www.myspace.com/duryeahawkinsmusic. His new songs, 'Little Carthage Blues' & 'Hit Me, Momma' will certainly delight you. And, it's fair to say, his 'At The Dusk' is a work of genius.

On that note (kinda) why not shuck'n'jive to Mr. Emil Thompson's 'Acoustic Splinters' Podcast of juicy Myspace favourites?
