Wow, Jonathan, thank you so much! So excited to hear your reactions, we really appreciate you posting them. More to come soon! :)
Creator Jonathan Flexman on April 29, 2011
1st time listening my mouth literally hit the floor. I am blown away. Funding this project for a friend, I really had no idea what I was backing. WOW! And I'm a tough critic. I've listened to both tracks 20x each. I LOVE IT.
Creator Melissa Axel on April 12, 2011
Yay, thank you!!!
Creator Bette Jacoby on April 12, 2011
Melissa, having heard "The Worth of Things" in its primary stage, I am so proud and excited for you. The songs are beautifully done & I'm so impressed with "Every Place is Home." May your future be bright & filled with love and more music. Love you so much.

I have a fever... and the only prescription... is more tuba!
Creator Melissa Axel on December 30, 2010
3 out of 3 babies LOVE Modern Tuba! And 3 out of 3 wombs containing babies agree! :)
Creator ModernTuba on December 30, 2010
Regarding the below comment: I am not referring to John's womb, as he doesn't possess one.
Creator ModernTuba on December 30, 2010
The baby has to listen to SOMETHING quality while waiting around in that womb, John!
Creator John Mertens on December 30, 2010
Good luck! I can't wait to hear the album!

The tuba IS sublime!!! :)

$60 bucks. Rock & roll & merry x-mas. This was going against my wanting to donate $42 but I've got a huge ego so I want to be credited. Blackout AKA Michael Biggins. Good luck!
