After much consideration and pondering, I've decided to go with yet another re-design, which allows much more freedom and ease on my time as a musician, and less on having to be a web-designer. Not that I didn't enjoy that role for a spell...but now other adventures call my attention, and so here, you find easy navigation and more fun things for you to enjoy...like the 'store' page with songs to download from the yet-to-be released record from Melissa On The Rocks. Have a look around, and do let me know your thoughts and suggestions and what you'd like to see on here. Cheers and happy Mardi Gras Season! 1/16/08 Hibernation in New Orleans continues... but good times abound and creativity is flourishing in this grand city...so much to be inspired by. The Melissa On The Rocks (MOTR) record continues to incubate...it should be ready for public consumption by August 2008. (that's the vision for now at least). We are taking pre-orders and donations if you'd like to help us get this project out of the oven. :) we are grateful to share the creativity with you. "Three Strikes", the song featured on this website, is the first track on the record. The song is also featured on the Band Promote Sampler #43. |
