Looks like an interesting start.  The effect of the sky and the text in the
border is quite compelling.  Would be interested in how you created the text
border.

Looks like an interesting start.  The effect of the sky and the text in the
border is quite compelling.  Gives it a moody feel.  Would be interested in how
you created the text border.

Nice image, so peacefully.
I'm seeing it right now with my old Travels vinyls (Are you going with me?
sounds in the background)
Good work (an good music taste too ;-).
Expecting to see it grown.

Just one complaint. How do I get to your vastly improved website?

Bye

    	Mmm, vinyls? Wow.... I was thinking of his newer album, when he was in Tel 
Aviv two years ago: Trio 99 -> 00.
    	I liked your site. Very Salvador Dali-ish.

Well, Travels, apart from being a Pat Metheny's song, is the tittle of a Pat
Metheny Group's double vynil (sure it's on CD, a friend of mine has it),
recorded live in July, October and November 1982 (it also has the song
Travels). The records company is ECM (reference from double vynil: ECM
1252/53). If you can get it, get it. It's a masterpiece.

Thank you very much (I love Dali... )

I have tried 5 times to get to your site with no success. I'll try later
again.
Bye.
