I am convinced that they will appeal strongly to many of the folk on this list. you can read more, download some music, & listen to a bit here: http://www.stryngs.com/ www.myspace.com/stryngs i recently got the mail below. strings, the singer & songwriter, & martin giles, guitarist )& accomplished recording / mastering engineer ) http://www.alchemysoho.com/html/alchemy.php?sp=engineer3a are planning a trip to the usa (not sure whereabouts) & are looking for house concert gigs. if anyone is interested, able to help, etc please could you contact martin at: mlg@ukonline.co.uk thanks ron - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Giles" To: Sent: 02.May.2007 9:17 AM Subject: House concerts and folk festivals > Hi folks > > Martin in London here (longtime lurker and occasional Jonifest attendee). > > To some of the jmdlers who are longer in the tooth, you'll know that I'm > the > guitarist in the UK band 'Stryngs'.

I think that settles the debate about whether the cover image was intentional or forced by the label. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #113 ***************************
