Hello everyone,

I'd like to issue a challenge to all of you music lovers ........to consider purchasing music for Christmas gifts by local and independent artists! I think we all could benefit from this.

I'd also be interested to know what artists you may have already purchased or will be purchasing and how the rest of us could get info on these artists.

I myself have just purchased 2 CD's by local artists in Toronto for gifts.....Norm Hacking's THE ACHE and Ron Nigrini's CD (on order...so I'll have to get back to you about the title).

I'm looking forward to finding out about new artists!

Laura
