Hi,

Originally from Blackburn, Lancashire, England. Emigrated to Canada as a teenager.  I live on Canada's West Coast but have lived on the East Coast and in several places in between.  I even spent a week and a half in the Arctic one winter, first in a tent, then an igloo, then a snow cave.  Temperatures reached minus 58 celcius one night (-75 fahrenheit).  That hurt!  The snow cave was the most comfortable.

Sellaband.  I first heard about it in February 2008. Became a believer in  other artists but plan to sign on as an artist too when my own songs are recorded to a quality suitable for submission.  I've been listening to other artists and am impressed with the variety, talent and quality of musicians out there.  My compliments to all of you.  You set the bar very high. 

Ellie Williams was the first Sellaband artist I listened to.  I loved her sound but being new to Sellaband, I delayed signing on as a believer.  Ellie reached $50,000 in 50 days and I missed the boat!  If you're new to this, take my advice: if you like a particular artist, don't wait to become a believer.  (PS. Ellie, if you read this, congratulations!!!  I'll buy your CD when it's available)

On a different note (pardon the pun), almost everyone's else's computer runs on high-speed internet these days except mine.  I'm still stuck with dial-up.  It's not because I'm too cheap to pay for high-speed, but rather because the phone company and cable companies are too cheap to provide the service this far up the mountain I live on.  Unfortunately, large size downloads take time.  So if you invite me to listen to your music, I probably will, but please be patient if I don't respond to you right away.  I will eventually reply.
