I got a pre-release of 'With Abandon' about three months before it was
released and was totally amazed by its freshness. So much crap is
released that calls itself Christian "music" that this one stuck out
like a sore mullet. I believe it and the Burlap to Cashmere cd's are the
only original things to come out in the ccm market in the last 18 months.
I just knew that everyone else would love the Chasing Furies cd as much
as I did so I stocked the shelves pretty well. I think I've sold
one...but Caedmon's Call flies out the door...What are these people
thinking? Oh well, that's why I come here.

Artist t-shirts are great ways to get the attention of other artists. I
was at a VOL show once with a friend who was immediately noticed by Bill
Mallonee because she was wearing a Stinging Rain t-shirt.

Why would you want to close your eyes when either of those ladies are
singing.

That may not have as much to do with OTR as it does with C.S. Lewis.
