"Little Fish in a Digital Sea" - and my "first" widget

Anyway that's whContinue

At least me and my CD made it to iTunes! (and CDbaby)

8/9/2008 10:17:14 AM I'm thrilled! It's been a struggle and its not like I'll get any promotion, but if you search MICHAEL GUY on iTunes, my CD AugustOceanOverture will come up!

I am thrilled, although it will be tough going getting anyone to know it's there. Even I didn't download iTunes software until just last week. Than I dec… Continue

Invisible Worlds Without End Within You!
