Here's a few of my tunes. Some are on the CD "Missin' Kissin' You" which is available from my website, www.lamarhunter.com, or cdbaby, amazon, itunes, napster, or tunecore.
Do you play live?
Just in the studio for now.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it's the best thang going right now. Music is readily available everywhere with just a few clicks.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Could be.
