Nothing to do with anything, but I quite like the new layout – though I miss the random pieces of artwork that used to be on the top right hand side… The color scheme’s got a nice 80s feel to it… Thought I’d let you know!

We love the CD. Listened to it all the way back to Nashville. Kalin loves her poem.
