Hi all. I hope this doesn’t sound like I’m being overbearing or anything, but I play piano and write songs, and I just put some of my music on the web. What I was hoping for is to get some honest feedback (which I know this group will provide, no problem). The CD is mostly piano instrumentals, but with two vocals, one of which is available online, kind of like Jim Brickman-style I suppose. Anyway, if it’s not too much to ask, I would appreciate any thoughts either posted here, emailed to me, or by leaving a rating at the web site. It is at: [www.listeningroom.lycos.com/fan/bands/bsturiale/Band.html.](http://www.listeningroom.lycos.com/fan/bands/bsturiale/Band.html.) I really appreciate it! 🙂 * * * Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven–Amiel ---

What do you mean? I just like the song (you know, she LOOKED good…) and I thought it would make a good name. ---

I just finished listening to “Lead the Way” and I like it. I looked on the web page for the band info, but it doesn’t mention anything about the singer. What is the singer’s name? She has a pretty voice. Of course, the piano sounds real good too. Is the picture on that web site you? If it is, I gotta say that you’re a cutie 🙂 * * * Shadowfox “The dead have risen, and they’re voting Republican!” - Bart Simpson ---

The singer info should be at the very bottom of the page, Shadowfox, if I did it right. Very glad you liked it, thanks! And thanks also for the other compliment, coming from a person never quite satisfied with the way he looks… * * * Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven–Amiel ---

**Uke** – I think yer thinkin’ of: “There’s a great big mystery, And it sure is worryin’ me – It’s Diddy Wah Diddy, Diddy Wah Diddy, I sure do wonder what Diddy Wah Diddy means.” (From the Blind Blake version.)

What I heard was good. The second non-vocal song (“Morning Sun”) kind of reminded me of Liz Story, what I heard anyway. I have a crappy phone line so most Real Audio recordings don’t download quick enough, I heard about a minute or so. Personally, when I am in the mood for mellow listening music, I prefer not to have vocals. So I can’t be a good judge of the “Lead the Way” song 🙂 Sorry, I just prefer no vocals on that type of music. But your piano is excellent! ---

“Then I got thrown out of church for talkin’ 'bout Diddy-Wah-Diddy too much Diddy-Wah-Diddy Mister Diddy-Wah-Diddy I wish somebody’d tell me what Diddy-Wah-Diddy means.” Yup, that’s the one, **Doc.** My apologies, **Doo-Wah-Diddy.** A Username like that just gets my toes to tappin’. * * * Uke
