Listen to the song and put it alongside his music. They are miles apart. <BR/>Christy Essien tried to play the Nigerian Millie Jackson. I loved the music, but couldn't stand the rap. <BR/><BR/>Have you heard of the group called Speed Limit, that did a song called "Hosanna". Hosanna is a beautiful piece. I used to have it.

It has been impossible to track down Okukuseku, Wings and Apostles music.<BR/>I recommend Cool Edit Pro for transfering Vinyl to MP3s, although I use a standard JVC CD recorder. The turntable is connected via the standard Amplifier and all you do is choose the source of the recording on the CD recorder. The Cd contents can be ripped as MP3s afterwards.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.Mastahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138189814498097381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-19504406899865996302007-07-01T05:16:00.000-05:002007-07-01T05:16:00.000-05:00thanks, Jon!thanks, Jon!Comb & Razorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912912211584098914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-80836062343575960392007-07-01T02:53:00.000-05:002007-07-01T02:53:00.000-05:00Love your blog.
