New El Greko tracks on MySpace

I am following the trend (hip, that's me !) and created a MySpace page, on which I have put 3 tracks from the imminent (20th March) album plus the full band version of "Empty". Yertiz:

Do visit, and if you are up on MySpace yourselves, add me to your "friends list" if you like, to bump up the ratings.

If the Arctic Monkeys can do it...

Hi George

We're putting up a page in the next week or so - fancy linking up?

And a note to anyone else out there - when El Greko's next album hits the market in April, get a copy! I've had my advance copy since January and it really is something special - hasn't been off my car stereo for months! The man just gets better and better!

Chris

Like he did at one song contest !!!

It didnt win it for him but it came in a creditable 2nd.

Looks like several of the sites I post newsletters to are also setting up pages - just added folking.com and folkandroots.co.uk to Julie's friends list.

Good stuff.

I tried, but I never have any luck. I managed to hear about 10 seconds of whistle (it was beautiful) and that's all. Tell me what I'm supposed to click.

Loved the bunny rabbit.

Leeneia, if you're on a dialup connection, it will be slow and interrupt like that. You heard the start of my "rocked up" version of "A-beggin' I will go". I don't know how to help you though - the track is only available for streaming from there, not for download (which might have been the solution to your problem). Sorry... Unless someone can help?

Lakis the Rabbit collaborated in pulling different musical directions out of the hat for me - the title of the new album being "For my next trick..."

Hi George,

Want some proof of how catchy Watermelon Seeds is?

My son Nick has heard you sing it live once when it was very new. Yesterday he heard me play a snip of it off MySpace, and now he can't stop singing it! ;<)

Yes George, without the ability to download in the background, and usually with the capability to resume the download in more than one connection, those on dialups are at a definite disadvantage. Too many people are now ASS-U-MEing that everyone is on broadband (no offence intended for nice people like you!) and able to listen on line easily.

BTW, who said you could track all over my space?

;-P

OK, two of the tracks are now downloadable as well, Leeneia.
