Mr. Bunnies (AKA Duke Sexton), Thanks for the kind words about the CD design. And, I concur about how well the mastering was done. The folks that David Kirkdorffer found to do that part . . . and the company that did the manufacturing too . . . all did an excellent job. Technically speaking, it couldn't have turned out better. I am sort of wondering if some of us shouldn't just send some copies to Violet so she can sell them on the LD website (and perhaps help support the operating costs thereof). I at least am willing to do so (if something of the sort hasn't already been arranged). I'll post her a message on FB and see if she's interested in something like that.
