Thanks for posting a listing to some of the tracks. You see how many there are?
Well..Well. Hmm. I come on these websites for fun. FUN. I posted the links to the music because I wanted to. I didn't know that all of this would follow. I posted these on more than just this site. But guess what...this site is the only site that has had a problem with what I posted. This is a place for people who share a common interest to come and enjoy themselves. Not act like children. And for the person or persons who dont like mp3 format....dont download it. Don't listen to it and dont bother the people who do appreciate it. Simple as that. DON'T.?
Peace. Jason Ford
