the great amillionsons is now on myspace, and have four songs available for download/streaming. one of them is their remix of my remix of john denver's "sunshine on my shoulders." the tune is previously unavailable and could only be heard on radio, so head over now and check it out. www.myspace.com/amillionsons.

Let me begin by saying I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything here. I realize that the blog was only created a few seconds ago, but it seems like every other blog I've read has lots of posts where the blogger apologizes for it being so long since he/she has posted, so I figured I should do the same.
