Thanks for that. Both were cool. I do own Orwell's "L'Archipal" and love it. Need more. Definitely heard the Aluminum Group influence on "Kloppo". There was a mention of the Webb Brothers. Anything going on with them after their wonderful album with Jimmy? > Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2013 16:16:28 -0400 > Subject: Aluminum Group, Orwell, Daniel Carlson content... > From: danielcarlson@yahoo.com > To: audities@smoe.org > > So here are a few oddball songs I was involved with last year and wanted to > share.
